Done Talking is
taking a longtime Maryland trainer, 3 Maryland friends and a leading
Maryland jockey on the ride of a lifetime this week as the 3-year-old
colt trained at Laurel Park prepares for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill
Downs in Louisville.
"This is my first experience doing it," says Done Talking trainer
Hamilton Smith, a Maryland mainstay for more than 30 years, who is
saddling his first Kentucky Derby starter this week. "This is the race
you want to win,. You know it's the most prestigious race in America, in
the world for that matter, It's really exciting and I'm just glad to
have one going."
The 67-year-old has
1,644 career winners and has conditioned runners such as Gin Talking,
Case Of The Blues and Blind Date, all multiple stakes winners.
"We are going there to represent Maryland and hopefully we can make a
good showing," Smith told WBAL's Scott Wykoff standing with Done
Talking at his stall 33 in Smith's barn at Laurel Park.
