Smarty Jones
What is it with us Americans that causes us to love an underdog?
In other countries, they think we are crazy for taking such an interest in what they consider a "loser". Is it because our original 13 colonies were an underdog against mighty England?
Who knows, but most of us love to see the upset. We love to see those who have lept huge hurdles or overcome tremendous handicaps to achieve greatness. Is it a national thing, or a spiritual one? Or is it a combination?
All I know is that I am a HUGE Smarty Jones fan. We are having a "Smarty Party" at our house on Saturday.......and I am counting the minutes. Some might ask why I am for Smarty, when he obviously is NOT the underdog in this race! I won't relate the whole story here, but go back and read about what all he overcame to get where he is, and that will explain my feelings for Smarty. He is not a quitter. Smarty is a galloping example of perseverence. I have always had a special place in my heart for those who overcome handicaps. I was modeled perseverence from the day I was born by a dad who was handicapped, but didn't know it. He was my stiff legged, short legged, stiff hipped example of perseverence on a daily basis. So forgive me if I am somewhat prejudiced towards Smarty.....it's in my genes!
May the best horse win, and I hope it is Smarty! I will be thinking of you, dad.
