Sure he has won many big...Mike Smith is overrated. Sure he has won many big races but how many has he blown? He went too fast in the Derby and let Union Rags get through on the rail in the Belmont. If it weren't for Zenyatta, who I could have ridden to victory, he wouldn't be getting any of those mounts today.<br /><br />As for the I'll Have Another scratch, I had the same thoughts when I heard about it. There has to be more to the equation than a <br />case of tendonitis. The horse was<br />a prime candidate for a bounce and maybe that scared them. Of course after the slow final time of the Belmont I bet the connections are kicking themselves for not running. IHA could have regressed 5 lengths and still won.Lennyhttp://www.equinometry.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22896617.post-9161269396491859912012-06-10T12:48:17.265-04:002012-06-10T12:48:17.265-04:00mike smith gave paynter a great ride, had the race...mike smith gave paynter a great ride, had the race stolen on a speed track .rags was just better. as to the conspiracy theory i with you 100%.tommynoreply@blogger.com
