What the Nation is saying about Smarty Jones...

Over the past few years one of the biggest angles a horseplayer uses in order to figure what horse could become a potential Derby horse, or even a top three-year-old, is to discount any obvious two year old stars. Is this angle legit or is it a myth? Read More

  • travel_vic · From an ESPN article: "At Oaklawn Park, there will never be a Cougar Day, a Mike vs. Chantal match race, or an advertising campaign featuring exotic dancers; there will never be night racing, or camel racing or ostrich racing. At Oaklawn Park, horses and racing matter. " · 24 days ago ·

  • 12thCrown · Not sure how many of you frequent Oaklawn, so while there won't be a "Cougar Day" per se, there are plenty of eligible ladies and dudes hanging around the second level sports bar. Seriously though, it's an extremely social place where people do care about the horses. · 20 days ago ·

The closest horse to a Triple crown winner since Affirmed almost had a derby type horse last year before Rogue Romance was injured hope he gets a classic type 3yo winner this year

  • railbird33 · I am certain Bob Baffert would disagree as Silver Charm lost the Belmont/Triple Crown by a head-bob to Touch Gold. Mr. Baffert also lost the VISA $5 million bonus for a sweep of the crown that year. Smarty- still one of my favorites. · 21 days ago ·

Where have those 120 Beyer horses gone? I miss them. You should, too. When I broached the subject of this column to Andrew Beyer, he said it was going to be depressing reading. True enough, but also, hopefully, educational. I have questions. Perhaps, somebody has answers. Read More

An inside look at Smarty Jones Triple Crown, with some terrific footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wIfGJKXNtU
Too often, horsemen see a yearling or mare sold to Korean interests and feel that it’s gone forever. Until recently, we usually learned very little about that horse’s activity abroad, but the expanding effects of the internet are coming to the aid of breeders and racing fans.Read More
Tarry Bratton’s fatigue with the stallion game became Northview Stallion Station’s gain when Jump Start, E Dubai and Smarty Jones were sold last month by Ghost Ridge Farm to the Mid-Atlantic breeding powerhouse.Read More
icyhotboo, you always have good interesting opinions. Where does Smarty ran in the top 250 if he wins the Belmont
Smarty is my boy, i will never ever forget his Preakness.
How many on here watch these videos and when you get to the Smarty Jones Belmont you can not watch. I still get a sick feeling
  • icyhotboo · Nick Zito one of the classiest people you could ever meet was one the sickest and he had the winner, but thats what horse racing is about there are no gimmees. · 175 days ago ·

121 This is a joke. He lost one race when most of the other horse's connections raced not for their horse to win but for Smarty to lose. He may not be Top 50 but he has to be Top 75.

  • icyhotboo · Smarty's career wasn't long enough to be rated that high.However the Belmont which he lost I believe to be a rider mistake as he was to close or on the lead the whole trip and the time of 2:27:2/5 was one of the fastest B S ever run.He was a real good one though. · 235 days ago ·

I think Smarty Jones is a great horse.
The stall the great horse left at Philadelphia Park in the summer of 2004 is 108 miles from the stall he occupies now at Ghost Ridge Farms. Get on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Bensalem, cruise out to Exit 286, head south 20 miles on Route 222 to Lancaster, cut another 20 miles southwest to York on R...Read More
