Smarty Jones' Colt Romps In Sunland Park's Riley Futurity
ISN’T HE CLEVER closed out his 2011 juvenile campaign in sensational style as he became SMARTY JONES’s newest stakes winner with an 11 3/4-length rout in Sunland Park’s $100,000 Riley Allison Futurity on Dec. 30.
Trained by Henry Dominguez for owners J. Kirk and Judy Robison, ISN’T HE CLEVER was the even-money choice in the field of seven. He stalked the early pace in the six and a half-furlong test before launching his bid entering the stretch and eagerly drawing off while stopping the clock in 1:15.10. A winner of three of his four starts by a combined margin of 25 lengths, ISN’T HE CLEVER was second in the Clever Trevor S. in his previous outing and has career earnings of $113,960.
SMARTY JONES had a sensational 2011 as his runners earned more than $5.5 million worldwide, tops among all Northeast-based sires! He sired such 2011 graded stakes horses as Japanese star KEIAI GERBERA, an earner of $793,044 for the year, speedster SUNRISE SMARTY, Gr. 3 winner and Gr. 1-placed GILDED GEM, and 3-year-olds CONCEALED IDENTITY, ROGUE ROMANCE and Irish group runner Smartcity.
