1W 1W to 4W 4W- Smith to get MTB call in Preakness?

Wiggins said that Jackson\'s bloodstock agent, John Moynihan, said if RA goes in Preakness then Borel rides and Smith is likely to get on MTB.

If that happens, no groundsaving trip in Pimlico, that\'s for sure.

Ugh, This would be AWFUL for the sport if Borel was on another horse..  Especially if he goes on to beat MTB with RA.  Everybody looks bad.

I hope some common sense prevails here.

Another \"wide Mikey\" thread starting............

Not getting into this one. As Miff would say..

Have some more Kool Aid.

Come on Paul, can\'t you just see Wide Mikey scraping the paint off the fence with MTB,a la Bo-rail?

Incidentally, I commend you for not crowing a West Coast Bias. The slow rat, MTB, technically came from the west as did the POTN and Papa Clem, 3/4 of the super.

I\'d put Jeremy Rose on at Pimlico before Smith.

Smith\'s ride in 02 was hard to stomach, shoulda known better

Don\'t need to Miff.  The results speak for themselves. I\'ll let Monmouth Guy or someone else say it was a fluke.

The Mike Smith hysteria is actually pretty funny. I\'ve given several examples of great rides by Smith,  but that would interrupt the ongoing \"Smith is wide\" rage. Whatever.
