The racehorse Smarty Jones won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness in 2004, and placed second in the Belmont Stakes. He was retired to stud and is (at last report) at the Northview Stallion Station in Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania.
Oliver Lewis [1856 - 1924], an African American who subsequently became a Kentucky businessman in Lexington, rode Aristides in the Kentucky Derby. He was the winning jockey on the winning horse. It was the very first time that the Derby was held. The historic date was the afternoon of May 17, 1875.
Smarty Jones
Smarty Jones Stakes was created in 2008.
Smarty won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness races in 2004, and a horse can only race in those at 3 yrs of age, so h's 11 yrs. old.
The owners of Smarty Jones would be Roy and Patricia Chapman.
Although it is a fact that horses are more intelligent than many people give them credit for, I have not heard that Smarty Jones has a high horse IQ. He may be a genius but is more likely of average or slightly higher than average intelligence.
