Breyer Horses is very pleased to announce Smarty Jones to their Traditional model horse series. Breyer recognized the stiking story behind this horse. In the spring of 2004, among the million-dollar equine superstars of racing, was a small chestnut colt named Smarty Jones. Foaled on February 28, 2001, Smarty shares his birthday and name with owner Patricia Chapman's mother, Mildred McNair, nicknamed "Smarty Jones" by her grandparents. Undefeated in his first eight races, Smarty staked his claim as one of the greatest racehorses of our time by winning the 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. In 130 runnings, he was only the fifth unbeaten winner of the "Run for the Roses." Stakes by a decisive 11 1/2 lengths, the largest margin in Preakness history. Pressed by challenger after challenger in the Belmont, the brave little colt refused to relinquish his early lead but was overtaken in the last few furlongs of the race, ending his gallant effort to capture the Triple Crown. With his Derby win and Oaklawn Park Centennial Bonus, Smarty Jones earned the largest payoff ever for winning a race and vaulted to fourth on the all-time earners list. He was recently syndicated for a reported $39 million dollars and stands at Three Chimneys Farm! Sculpted by Carlton Sifton. Removable base is included. Color: Chestnut. Breed: Thoroughbred
