Smarty Jones and Funny Cide

Postby Ogygian » Tue Aug 18, 2009 7:19 pm

Hello:

I am going to be writing a few articles in the upcoming weeks on the above referenced race horses.

If anyone has some little known facts about either of these two guys, could you send me a PM, or post on this thread? Any anecdotal stuff, personal recollections, etc................

Much thanks in advance!

HRTV's Inside Information on Funny Cide

With Smarty Jones, remember that he had the starting gate incident where he spooked and smashed his head on top of the gate. He fell to the ground unconscious, blood pouring from his nostrils. Servis thought the horse was dead, but Smarty regained consciousness and was treated by a vet, who treated him for shock. After the bleeding stopped, Smarty Jones' head began to swell from the middle of his forehead over to his left eye. The vet and the assistant trainer kept watch on the colt and kept him at the barn overnight. The vet saw the eye before the swelling and was confident the eye itself was not damaged, but knew the horse must have sustained a fracture due to the excessive swelling.

smarty jones has pig eyes. IMO, he is the best dirt horse to run in north america in the last 20 years, or more.
