Mike should have been at the whip a quarter mile into the race. Didn't he realize all the money people bet on that horse  This sure makes the people upset with Mike look like asshats. Here you have a guy taking care of the horses best interest and the same people that bitch about drug use in the industry bitch about a rider taking care of his animal.

Nothing worse than watching a struggling horse get pushed or witnessing
a breakdown . Mike is getting all the praise now that he deserved post race .

Nj, if Mike had pushed, and Shared Belief had broken down during that race? "The World's Top Thoroughbred" and the destruction involved in this sport would've made national news. .... Scott Hazelton spoke with him via telephone the other morning. One could hear, still, the sadness and the concern in his voice.

Everyone can see that sb wasn't keeing up.
Mike did the only thing he could do.
Ease if not keeping up
Happens eveyday.
If i bet a low odds horse and he gets eased.
Well theres always next race, i very rarely care about 1 result, one way or other.
Glad sb is safe.

There was one race I was watching when the horse broke awkwardly from the gate and it looked weird. The horse ended up throwing the jock. Kudos to Mike Smith and any other jockey who eases their horse up when they feel the animal is not striding right. People who bet have to expect this happening.

SHARED BELIEF
so much for the criticism leveled at Mike Smith and
Jerry Hollendorfer.
I previously posted retiring SB, this diagnosis benchmarks
this thought.

You think chrome hurries back to the u.s. Now for the BC since the likely favorite is now out? Seems like something his connections would pull

Heard them say on TVG he is out all of 2015, so that doesn't exactly sound minor.
