This actual race-used whip was the personal property of Hall of Famer Mike Smith, sports "MS" on the heel in white, and is nicely embroidered "Mike Smith." Obtained at a PDJF charity auction, it will come with a LOA from Leland's stating this fact. Mike Smith has been one of the leading riders in United States since the early 1990s, and was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2003. A former Preakness and Kentucky Derby winner, he has won the most Breeders' Cup races of any jockey in history.
