Thanks for pointing that out , if what your saying is true and I bet it is , I stand corrected . Obviously I'm more than in a little over my head when discussing many of the conditions of a race . Would a Horse's 2 yo earnings count towards qualifying for the Kentucky Derby ? If so , this might account for Smarty unquestionably being over raced as a 3 yo . Considering the circumstances of this horse's 2 yo campaign it's miraculous that he is still racing (overaced at 3 aside)and managed to get two turns early in the year as a 3 yo . I'm looking at Smarty Jones's sheet right now and I'm struck by the not only quality of pattern and numbers but also the quantity of big number efforts . As the qualifying rules for the Derby are presently structured would have there been any 3 yo race's Smarty could of skiped in your opinion ?
