Mike Smith, shown here at last year’s Kentucky Derby aboard Justify. By Matt Bonesteel Matt Bonesteel Reporter for the Early Lead Email Bio Follow May 3 at 8:11 AM Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith looked as if he was going to sit out this year’s Kentucky Derby when his mount, morning-line favorite Omaha Beach, was scratched Wednesday because of a respiratory issue.
Smith, 53, has won the Kentucky Derby twice, aboard Justify last year and with 50-1 long shot Giacomo in 2005. He also has won the Preakness Stakes twice and the Belmont Stakes three times, and has a record 26 victories at the Breeders’ Cup. But instead of reuniting with Justify trainer Bob Baffert on one of this three Derby entries this year, Smith decided to go with Omaha Beach, a decision that looked to be promising until the horse was scratched Wednesday.
