no, you're right in that respect. thing is, smarty won more than just the derby. ran over a multitude of tracks, and at differing distances. won two classic and barely lost a third.
not many derby winners go on to huge success at stud, so you're not far off in wondering why they get so much attention! but then, 8-9 in 10 horses are failures in the shed...so i'm not so sure that derby winners fare any better or worse.
