Mike Smith a living legend

now he has 5,000 wins. guided champions like Holy Bull, Azeri and the great Zenyatta. What do you think? He's dominated the east and west coast circuits for years. one of the best jockeys ever imo.

Mike has had a solid career no doubt. But I don't think you can say he's dominated both circuits.

Before Smith came out West, he was 1-for-99 at Gulfstream.

No, Smith has never dominated the west coast. Smith has basically been a big money race jockey. You rarely see him on a favorite in a claimer or even an allowance race. Most of the time he's on a favorite it's in a MSW or Stakes race. 5,000 wins is a great accomplishment so taking nothing away from Smith. The only dominance he's had in the west coast is over Chantel. LOL

Perfect ride by Mike Smith on Mamma Kimbo for Baffert in the Grade 2 Fantasy at Oaklawn Park today. Wire to wire.
