By winning the Kentucky Derby as an undefeated colt, Smarty Jones
will be forever linked to the great Seattle Slew, who was the last to
accomplish such a feat in 1977.
But that's not the only distinction he'd like to share with
Seattle Slew.
Today, Smarty Jones takes aim at the second jewel of horse
racing's prestigious Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico
Park.
If Smarty Jones wins the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes three
weeks later, he would be the first Triple Crown winner since Seattle
Slew. Smarty Jones would also collect his second $5 million bonus. He
already won an Oaklawn Park $5 millionbonus for winning the Rebel
Stakes, the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby.
