Smarty Jones Sired First Millionaire!

Good news today. For once. Normally I wouldn't share something like this but as Smarty Jones is the first racehorse I ever cheered for, he holds a special place in my heart.

Story

Smarty Jones , the champion 3-year-old male and dual classic winner of 2004, came through with his first millionaire when his 4-year-old daughter Keiai Gerbera won the July 11 Procyon Stakes (Jpn-III) in track-record time. The $435,388 in earnings she picked in the victory upped her career total to $1,162,477.

Keiai Gerbera, out of the Danzig mare Anna Sterz, defeated males in the seven-furlong stakes. Keiai Gerbera, who has won six of 10 starts, races for Keiai Gisizairyo Hanbaisyo Co.

Unfortunately I can't keep an eye on Keiai except through the news, but I'm cheering for her. :)
