Who will win the Smarty Jones Stakes?

By EDowner on Jan 20 2013, 3:23p 3

January 21's Smarty Jones Stakes at Oaklawn Park is the next race in the new Kentucky Derby qualifying system. It is Oaklawn Park's first in a series of 3-year-old races leading toward the April 13 Arkansas Derby (gr. I) and the Triple Crown races beyond, the one-mile Smarty Jones is worth points of 10-4-2-1 to the top four finishers on the road to the Kentucky Derby Post-time will be approximately 5:38 p.m. (ET). I'm not sure why the race isn't getting much press because there's a few horses with TC pedigree and the potential to make some noise later in the season. I'm going with the 6, Officer Alex, because he's got good speed figures, but he might be outclassed here. See if you can pick the winner! 1- Stormy Holiday 15/1 2- Always in a Tiz 9/2 3- Avare 2/1 4- Texas Bling 10/1 5- Best of Birdstone 20/1 6- Officer Alex 6/1 7- King Henny 6/1 8- Brown Almighty 4/1
