Smarty Jones (February 28, 2001) is a thoroughbred race horse and winner of the 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. He finished second in the Belmont Stakes on June 5, 2004.
He is a third-generation descendant of Mr. Prospector, and as such Smarty Jones is related to many recent Triple Crown hopefuls including Funny Cide, Afleet Alex, and Fusaichi Pegasus. Also included in his pedigree are Triple Crown winners Secretariat, Count Fleet, War Admiral, Gallant Fox and Omaha, and such other Triple Crown race winners as Northern Dancer, Foolish Pleasure and Man o' War, who is #1 on the list of Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century. His dam was multiple stakes winner I'll Get Along. Only twelve horses have won the Triple Crown. The previous winner was Affirmed in 1978. On June 6, 2015, American Pharoah became the new Triple Crown winner after winning the Belmont Stakes.
