2011 Run To The Rose

Smart Missile is a hugely promising colt and showed why with a performance that went from woeful to sensational. Smart Missile missed the start and was always well back, giving the leaders eight lengths at the top of the straight, but he was able to pile on the pace when it counted and mowed down the field to win by a neck over Foxwedge with Helmet in third.
