| | Smarty Jones |
 | | Smarty Jones has an unusual background for a top thoroughbred: he comes from Someday Farm, a small Pennsylvania operation owned by Roy and Pat Chapman, and is based at Philadelphia Park, considered a second-tier racecourse. |
 | | Roy Chapman suffers from severe emphysema, and neither trainer John Servis nor jockey Stewart Elliot had ever competed in a Kentucky Derby before the 2004 race. |
 | | Still, Smarty Jones was undefeated in six races leading up to the Derby, and with his win there he collected a $5 million prize offered to any horse who could win the Rebel Stakes, the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby. |
