    I will admit that this gave me chills. LION HEART IS ALL HEART, SMARTY JONES IS ALL OUT!
  • @BDavis820
    I'm from Philly and was at all three of his TC races. The ride of a lifetime. He's still my fave.
  • @eliezerberry
    Smarty Jones is one of my all-time favorite horses. In my mind Smarty Jones is one of the greats and as good as a Triple Crown winner in my eyes.
  • @tylermorro6663
    “Lion Heart is ALL HEART, Smarty Jones is ALL OUT!” Such an iconic call by an iconic race caller Tom Durkin❤️🙌🏻
  • @billyhale5570
    Still brings tears to my eyes got to watch all the races from the first to the last fabulous horse
  • @Phills69
    We need another powerhouse Philadelphia horse! I got mad love for Smarty!
  • @NalaRichenbach
    Deadlocked at the eighth pole. One of the most exciting Derbies I have ever seen. He didn't have a very long career but Smarty Jones certainly gave everyone a lot of thrills.

    I love Smarty. I was at the Preakness, and he was truly in Awesome form. The Belmont broke my heart, but hey, he just got caught. I would've loved to see Zenyatta take her hand at that monster though. Who can beat the call by Durken here..."Lion Heart is ALL HEART! SMARTY JONES IS ALL OUT!!" Timeless line.
  • Damn you, Nick Zito! Birdstone finished poorly in the Derby and Zito wisely chose to have him skip the Preakness where Smarty Jones demolished the field. Birdstone ended up nipping Smarty in the Belmont, denying him the triple crown. Had Birdstone run in all 3 races, I am quite sure we wouldn't have the 30 year drought of TC winners we have today. Maybe they should require all horses to run all three races!

    Smarty Jones was a damn good horse. He should have won the triple crown.
  • @czvo
    Smarty is still the best horse I have ever seen. Its a shame he couldnt finish the job in the Belmont
  • @brucewactor7911
    This is the best commentator of all sports he is very interesting
  • if you watch stew on all of his races leading up to this he rode him the same way every time what a great ride he knew he was on the best horse awesome
  • @macaroni459
    It always makes me laugh that Durkin is so overwhelmed/excited at the end that he accidentally calls Lion Heart - Lion House :P
  • This was when I was three... I can see why the masterpiece that is Racing Stripes starring Hayden Panettiere and Bruce Greenwood was made...
  • @pamelaanne5580
    I was there...Smarty was a firecracker! Loved that lil guy!😁🤗
  • @NiceBlue210
    He sure is! I love this call..."And these two hook up at the top of the stretch! Lion Heart is ALL HEART! Smarty Jones is ALL OUT!"
