MILLION DOLLAR MAN?

A top-3 finish in today's Grade III $500,000 Razorback Handicap for older horses will make Smack Smack a millionaire for trainer Don Von Hemel of Hot Springs. Von Hemel, 82, has never trained a millionaire, but Smack Smack ($955,430) would earn $50,000 for a third-place finish in the 1 1/16-mile Razorback. Smack Smack is winless in six career starts at Oaklawn, but has run second four times, including the $125,000 Fifth Season Stakes Jan. 13 in his last start. Smack Smack is 10-1 in the program for the Razorback.
