I knew there was a reason I liked you! Native of the Land of Enchantment! I've been here 10 years now and will never leave.

Go Zenyatta! You got the shaft in the Horse of the Year voting. Today proved it. I look forward to the day you look Rachel in the eye and pass her by.

He seems really friendly and down to earth. Those are wonderful qualities in a star athlete from any sport. Great job as Zanyatta's pilot, it will be a shame to see her go but i'll be looking forward to her babies!! Thank you so much for posting this and good luck in the future, Mike!!

Thank you for a good interview with Mr. Smith. Like others, I enjoyed his modest, candid answers and the insights into his world he provided us outside of it.

Congratulations for your lifetime accomplishments, and to BH for the interview.

(PS. I have the Jinetes Wine and Nedra Matteucci Galleries websites open.)

My question was not used as well, but always enjoy listening to Mike since he is candid and honest. He has been associated with some wonderful horses besides the ones mentioned such as Lure,Inside Information as well as the whacky Coronado's Quest. His injury at Saratoga into that hedge was just painful to watch. I remember bursting into tears knowing the outcome would be a painful road to recovery for him. Owners and trainers can be fickle involving accidents and recoveries. I knew it would not be easy for his return. I was sorry to see him leave NY but...if he hadn't Zenyatta would only be a "possible some day dream" not a reality!

Thanks again Blood Horse for having this interview.

Even though my question was not selected i enjoyed the interview very much. I Think both Rachel and zenyatta are amazing but I hope that Zenyatta will be the Horse of the year. I look forward to hearing about her transition to farm life. I hope Mike Smith has many more years of Racing. I would have loved to know if he owns race horses or a horse that he rides for Fun.

I missed the deadline for questions. Wanted to know who Mike thought or knew who Zenyatta was going to be bred to?

This was a great interview. Really enjoyed it a lot. Best of Luck to you Mike

Thank you for such a great interview. A comment regarding the show "Jockeys" is that in viewing such a program it stimulates interest in horse racing in general as it gives the viewer an opportunity to get to know jockeys at the subject tract and thus generates more excitement and loyalty to view actual races. Also, the "already" horseracing addict generates more interest in the sport by discussing with friends the realty show that will perhaps again draw a potential fan to horse racing.

I really enjoyed this interview with Mike Smith - - what a great guy, down to earth and very articulate! I thought his every answer was very smart, real & thoughtful. Congratulation to you Mike for all of your success over the years and CONGRATULATION to you and ZENYATTA for such a sensational Breeders Cup race!! Thanks to Jerry & Ann Moss AND John Shirreffs too. We (us obsessed horse people) watch and wait patiently for years for that kind of a performance and WOW. In a way I compare it to Secretariats Belmont Stakes. It was paramount. Mike, you earned your ride on her. She's one of those rare gifts and you appear very deserving of that gift. Best of luck to you in the future. I'll be rooting for you when the Triple Crown races are here.

re: Mike Smith Podcast - Listen Now!

Appreciate the suggestion.

I have already performed those steps.

Is it possible to post a link directly to mp3 file so the user may "Save As"?

Is it necessary to use the 'download' functionality embedded in the Adobe Flash app?
