Smarty Jones' Kids

3yo Perfect American (o/o Star Wisper by Quiet American) will debut on Friday in AQU 5, a 6F MSW. He's very much a long shot on the ML.

And a reminder that 2 Smarties scheduled to run last Saturday in stakes races will run this Saturday.

Jonesy Boy goes in the Stymie at AQU.

Concealed Identity goes in the John B. Campbell Hcp at Laurel (he won last year). He hasn't won in a long time -- but his trainer says he's training really well.

Poor Indian Jones, also originally entered in the Campbell, has to sit it out now -- he's caught in the Parx quarantine.

Am thrilled to report that Better Life was a 2-time winner in the Inglis Singapore Racing Awards for 2013. For the 2nd year, she was declared Champion Stayer, and she won in the apparently hotly contested Champion Four Year Old category. Still bummed that she was retired; think she could have had a bang-up 5yo season.

Yep. All 4 of the starters today finished 3rd! At least CI and Jonesy Boy were running in $100K stakes.

Smarty Jones x Ysabell colt, b. last night @ Northview

second_glance · Wed Feb 26, 2014 12:35 pm

As yet unnamed, this 2yo colt is by Into Mischief, o/o A Plus, a mare from Smarty's 2nd crop. The colt just moved into Doug O'Neill's barn to start training.

I guess I'm wrong, but I thought that I'll Show Them was retired? I received a workout notification for him from Hawthorne yesterday, 3 furlongs in 37.20.

I never heard of any official retirement. Wish he were retired. He's very crooked in front, and has often been off track for extended periods.

....and we have a WINNER Canny Nanny at Gulfstream and Sweet Tooth Sweety came in 2nd at 45-1 in the same race. That is so good! I really wanted both to win, but will settle for 1 and 2!!!!

Leparoux has the ride.
He's got an outside post in a big, tough field.
New style is going for the front.
We shall see.
