I have to admit, I was moved by the Smarty Jones story. It could be a movie waiting to happen, but with Seabiscuit having been made I'm not sure theres a market for another horse movie right now.
Now I'm hooked on this horse and I know he'll get beat down the road. At least history says he will...lol But the poignancy of his story intrigued me the more I learned about the horse. I've never been happier for those winning a Derby. They had scores of offers to sell this horse or sell a portion of him. Old man Chapman said "I don't need a partner, my wife's my partner". I watched a lot of Derby's and this one got me wrapped up in a ball.
I didn't have a huge score but it feels as good as winning 20K.
Smarty is a feel good horse and its a feel good story.
The Smart bomb dropped...lol
