Smarty Jones
About 10 miles north of where I live is a town, Solebury Pennsylvania, which just hit the map today. Smarty Jones, (from Solebury) a 3-year old horse who has never been defeated (7 of 7), won the Kentucky Derby.
According to his owner, “ I don’t think he has ever got the respect he was due”.
Probably because his story is a doozy. He is a Pennsylvania bred horse who nearly died when he slammed his head on an iron bar, he doesn’t ave the regal bearing of a champion. He’s smallish and has goofy bangs that brush the top of his eyes. But nothing has stopped him so far.
I say – GO SMARTY! And talk about local pride, Governor Rendell has proclaimed May 1st as Smarty Jones Day in Pennsylvania
