GO SMARTY!!!! Reminiscent of the finest racing animal that ever strode majestically over the finish line...our dearly beloved Seattle Slew...



These two horses have been compared a lot recently. Here's why.....

- Smarty Jones was the first horse to win the derby with an undefeated record since Seattle Slew.

- Both had awkward running styles.

- Neither had the stature of many other famous horses.

- Both were 6-0 going into the derby.

- Neither came from a prestigeous bloodline.

- Both were branded as mere sprinters. They later showed they had heart and courage.

Seattle Slew was indeed one of the greatest horses to ever live. I think Smarty Jones will be added to that short-list in the next couple weeks.

Seattle Slew's great-grandson (Zee Slew) is at my moms house for a couple years for boarding. Awesome horse and great with my kids. My 6 year old even rides him. Too bad he couldn't make the cut on the track.

Oh here is a pic. It's not that great but you can see the size of him. He is "bowing" for a peppermint.
