Direct from the Jockey's Room, and you're gonna love this one!
Twas the night before Opening Day, and over at L ‘Auberge in downtown Del Mar, Mike Smith and Alex Solis were enjoying themselves over a few glasses of wine and a little dinner (very little dinner, you know, that weight thing). As they were leaving the restaurant Alex suggested to Mike that he looked pretty tired and he should take a taxi home.
