Angry Dragon worked yesterday at Arlington Park going 2 furlongs in 25.3. She galloped out well in around 39 seconds and looks like she is ready to go three furlongs next week. We will do some gate work with her prior to her next work and she may be ready to work from the gate soon.
Lady Thief was scheduled to work as well yesterday but we wound up postponing the work due to sore feet. She just was shod for the first time on Tuesday and her feet were still a little tender so we played it safe and will wait till next week with her.
Slumber Smarty is improving but her feet are also still bugging her a bit as well.
I am heading out to Rea's today and will get some photos of Red Baroness and Hemissesu and will post them here and on facebook.

Welcome to the Smart Girls blog!
We want to use this blog as well as our facebook page to keep everyone informed on what is happening with our Smarty Jones fillies. Rather than spend money on fancy websites and such, we have chosen to use the modern (and free!) methods of easy and fast communication and spend every dollar on our horses!
Three of the fillies are at Arlington Park in Chicago and worked their first quarter mile last Thursday. Slumber Smarty (SJ-Dream Child), Lady Thief (SJ-War Thief) and Angry Dragon (SJ-Screamer) all worked easily over the polytrack surface. They spent the Winter in Ocala, Florida at the Classic Mile Training Center and have adapted to the racetrack life in fine fashion. Lady Thief and Angry Dragon are scheduled to work again on Wednesday, again going 1/4 mile in around 26 seconds. Slumber Smarty sustained a minor foot bruise on Saturday and will not work this week. We will be videotaping the work and posting it here and on youtube(hopefully without technical issues!).
Hemissesu (SJ-Wheatly Way) and Red Baroness (SJ-Must be a Lady) are both later maturing types and are in training at Rea Quarterhorses in Shelbyville, KY. These two will be joining the others at Arlington Park towards the end of May.
We will be racing not only in the Midwest at Arlington Park and the KY tracks but have stalls at Philadelphia Park (Smarty's home track) which gives us easy access to other East coast venues like Monmouth Park, Delaware Park, Pimlico, Belmont and Saratoga.
