But that ****er Smarty Jones sure did beat every one else like a drum, and looked good doing it.

That race was the coronation of a great horse. Exactly because of the tactics of Bailey on Eddington and RHT. They threw a race to beat a champ.
That race showed how great Smarty really was. That was the moment I had total respect for an animal that I doubted before the Derby.
