Take a peek behind the scenes into a day-in-the-life of a Kentucky Derby jockey as our Jill Byrne follows around 2005 Derby winner, Mike Smith. Smith gives us a behind the scene look into how he became a jockey, a look into the jocks room and more….

It ends with the greatest two minutes in sports but the Road to the Kentucky Derby begins long before then. A series of 34 designated races that span across 15 tracks and ends with one champion under the iconic Twins Spires of Churchill Downs.

My baby boy. It's my dream to meet him. I'm his biggest fan
Great jockey and person and has more than a lovely voice!! Thanks to Mike for his help towards saving the lives of humans and horses and the racetracks of our industry including Hollywood Park Race Track. Take Action and please sign the petition with this link. http://bit.ly/SaveHollywoodPark
Instead of the usual stale programming (although Mike Smith is quite unusual in a most positive way & I'm glad he's being profiled), Churchill Downs could do us all a big favor by posting the final board of the KD future bets (Rounds 1 thru 4) on YOU TUBE as well as on their website, which is a visual disaster that I refuse to look at, after various discoveries that it is all fluff and no actual real, useful information.
Take time to visit the track, take the tour to see the fabulous farms of Kentucky. The horses from the moment they are conceived are conditioned in hopes of becoming a Kentucky Derby contender. The greatest horse race in the history of mankind.
LOVE you still Mike Smith! Keep racing and the artistic passion!
