Smarty Jones will retire to Three Chimneys in Kentucky
at the end of his racing career. The price of his syndication has
not been mentioned.
The once beaten colt will continue to race in the Chapmans colours
until his retirement.
His owners were keen for the public to continue to have access to
the charismatic chestnut.
Smarty Jones has become the most talked about thoroughbred in the
USA since winning the Kentucky Derby while unbeaten. He went on
to a record breaking 11 and a half lengths win in the Preakness.
A warm favourite to win the Belmont, he was run out of it in the
final stages by Birdstone. The chestnut is being aimed at the Haskell
Invitational next month. The son of Elusive Quality is out of Smile
mare, I'll Get Along.
