I notice nobody has mentioned Mikey's ride on Ten Churros in the Melair Stakes at HOL yesterday............

Anybody else think he acted the fool............. ? I wonder if the Jockey's show camera crews were there..........?

22/4 46flat 1:10/2 1:36/1 He did all the work for a mile This was a Mile 1/16th race. He did it while running with a 39-1 shot........ of course his horse spit the bit after a mile. I thought he was smarter than that.........?

This is one of those situations where these guys get away with anything........there is no press to ask them questions etc.........like other athletes............I was wondering who Mikey was the rabbit for........half way through the race

Baffert had two horses in there, Churros and Victory Dancer (who was a closer)

Ten Churros is a sprinter, so she figured to go to the lead. Sometimes you get away with it and get a rated split, other times you get pressed.
