Must Be Seen To Be Believed

[Tavasco]

It is not surprising that Mike Smith aboard Far Right won the Smarty Jones today @ Oaklawn. How he did it, sure surprised me. We love to point out Mr. Smith\'s routine wide trips. Not today, he did a an Oscar deserving portrayal of a certain OP regular often called Borail!

I knew the results (#1 wins) before I watched the replay. So I was puzzled when late on the second turn I could not see the #1 horse? Then in a flash skimming the rail he was in the lead paused and then pulled away impressively.

Mr. Z bore out badly and probably needs a rest he won\'t get. Hebronville didn\'t fire and the timing doesn\'t look fast at first glance. But, I think this one will still be running at the finish of the KD if all else goes his way.

Nice ride Mike, of course you were due after last Saturday.
