The whole trainer thing is overblown. Back during the tough times Mandella always supported Mike with good mounts.
Future mounts down the road are not a consideration unlike most other riders.

Another excellent point.
I think Mike is at a status that he can make his decision and not offend either trainer/owner, or cut any ties whatsoever. FFS, he is Mike Smith.
Tough decision. Really tough decision. I think Omaha, but likely due to recency. Roadster ran into a zero pace Santa Anita Derby. Then again I'd probably go with Roadster due to being a bit more versatile. Maybe.
Heck, maybe he should just wait till post positions are drawn to make his decision.
