Smith pumped his fist pretty good after the 92 Mile when Lure broke the track record by more than a second. I remember McGaughey saying afterwards that he never had a horse come to the paddock that looked as good as Lure did that day.
It was the 1993 BC at Santa Anita; Durkin acknowledged Smith when he said "Mike Smith is pumped up, and why not..."
Redboard time: I bet Lure pretty good in '92 because the Arazi hype was almost as ridiculous as it was before the Derby.
