Like I said Mike Smith is almost my age, I’m 58 he’s 56. Try holding a race horse down at any age let alone our age. Have you ever looked closely at any riders arms…….? Even the girls have “Guns”. He’s at the end of a Hall of Fame career. He got outridden plain and simple. It’s the pattern of this entire meet. The younger guys take way more mounts and win more .,,,,, the older guys don’t. The faster the horse the more strength and endurance you need to hold it.
