LEXINTON, Ky. — For Mike Smith, it’s the horses that keep him young.
The 56-year-old Smith has a reputation that precedes him.
A two-time Kentucky Derby winner with long shot Giacomo (2005) and favorite Justify (2018), Smith also rode Justify to victories in the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes, becoming the oldest jockey to win horse racing’s Triple Crown at the age of 52.
