And today the the the the Smarty Jones Stakes, Ungraded. Now there will be three more races in Arkansas. Each one of them will be bigger. The the the the the Smarty Jones Stakes ungraded isn't a graded stakes event, but it is one that has put some horses in to the Kentucky Derby. It is a mile. And so going a mile at Oakland Park, the finish line will actually be moved up. What is normally the 16th poll will be the finish line today

Who knows how to relax a horse? And I really think that this is his race to lose. He ran a mile race, which is just one turn at Churchill Downs and blew away the competition, winning by nine lengths and running some good figures there. I figure him to be the favorite today. However, there is a horse that we know that's on our watch list

And really, these two horses were heads and shoulders above the rest of the field. And that's what we thought going in and the race really stayed true to form. There's a lot of people talking about how impressive of an performance Cattle River had, and I don't disagree with that. However, let's take a step back and really kind of temporarily enthusiasm here. Yes, he ran a great race. He looked strong in the stretch
