Smarty Jones had become a distant memory. He's done more for racing than any horse I've ever known and I apologize to everyone for beating him.”You are never going to get quotes like that from any owner who had just won the Belmont Stakes.Fast forward to the Travers Stakes two and a half months later. These moguls knew how to win, and more important, they knew how to lose.Perhaps the last remaining link to those times and those true sportsmen was Marylou Whitney, widow of C.V.
