Can't remember the name, but the colt (or filly) that set the 4.5 furlong record last year at Keeneland sticks out in my mind. I was impressed by that one.

Lite the Fuse, Coronado's Quest.

i'm guessing it won't show up on this list of flashy maiden wins.

at least she got there in less tries than Tubacity.

Ever A Friend:rolleyes:

One's I remember from the track.. all from Saratoga of course..

Maimonides was impressive in his maiden win at Saratoga, as was Indian Blessing.

There was a horse like 4-6 years ago who was really impressive at Saratoga I just cant think if the name. For some reason Zarkava comes to mind but I know its not him.... I give up.

Kodiak Kowboy
 

Not certain on speed, but seem to remember it looking incredibly professional for a two year old.

Mr Mistelfoslees?

one hot wish

Anything English Channel did must have been good. Also thinking Shakespeare was impressive.

Mayakovsky?

Forest Music in person.

Circular Quay.

Seriously. :)

Medaglia D'oro

Medaglia d'Oro. Broke poorly from the outside (10 hole, I believe) going 6 panels and rushed up. Won by daylight.

He didn't even win his debut.

He was 2nd at Turfway.

He probably beat nothing, but Lost in the Fog had an impressive debut.

Wasn't the thread about impressive Mdn wins? If not I will think of some debut winners. :rolleyes:

Question was about maiden wins, not debut race.

The horse that won at GP on turf trained by Mott and ridden by Garcia was probably the best Mdn win I remember this year. Name anyone?

YES!!!!!!!!! I actually thought of the name in the meeting I was just in and was going to come back and post... that was an impressive race!

Thank you!

curlin.. easily

Good memory, then he ran a hell of a race at SA 1st time for Frankel off the purchase. Pretty damn nice horse!

Super Fuse :o

96 Beyer in his debut win over the heavily favored Midas Eyes.

The most impressive I've seen in person was probably Maria's Mon..

Some honorable mentions go to...


Stormy Blues
Unbridled's Song
Honour And Glory
Elusive Quality
Flanders
Artie Schiller
Ghostzapper
Kelly Kip
Party Manners
Diligence
Lure
Inside Information
Heavenly Prize
Indian Charlie
Rodeo

Good call with that one.. pretty rare to see a horse skip the maiden ranks and go right up against winners first out..

Yeah - I bet him that day - he paid $19 to win going 1st time Frankel and getting a huge weight break from Siphonic. He beat a River Downs horse by 2.5 lengths ... and the River Downs horse was 3/1.

Sorry.

I assumed it was about debut wins.

Summer Colony broke her maiden with a 32.75 length win and a triple digit Beyer.

It was the all-time most impressive maiden win by a horse who had already failed in 7 or more maiden attempts.

Do you have her PPs?

I can't believe they really distinguished between 32.75 and 33 lengths.

Indian Charlie was pretty awesome.

Cee's Tizzy won his second start and was so impressive, I really did not believe my eyes until I got home and watched it a few more times.

Someone mentioned Lakeway. Her debut was forgettable. She won in an all out drive against the decent Madder than Mad. Her second start was insane.

There was what I think was the first runner from Peterhof to run in Socal that was awesome. She won by like 10 in her debut, for I think Gary Jones. Mccarron jokingly said after the race "Those Peterhofs sure can run!". I wish I remembered her name.

Phone Trick.
Barbaro.
Swear. The greatest horse nobody has ever heard of.
Likeable Style was visually impressive. What was impressive was that last to first move by a humungous filly that was bred to run all day long, but made that move in a sprint. She was by Nijinsky II out of a Nodouble mare.


Timebank going 114.2 in his 2nd start (msw) was nice.

I think Go For Wand won by like 15.
Congaree's maiden win was awesome

i was at churchill for first samurais maiden. i don't think it was particularly impressive, but i'll always remember it.

Buzzer?

The San Felipe, that was an interesting race, he looked beat at the top of the stretch but rallied to win. I know you will get this but most will be surprised who rode him that day, not the usual rider associated with Frankel.

I remember Lure being pretty mediocre until Shug tried him on turf.

He set at 5F track record at Belmont in his maiden victory...

Can't believe I forgot about Affirmatif. Broke his maiden @ 1 mile on the turf at GP earlier this year. It was also his debut.

He is entered Saturday in a stakes race @ Pimlico......

That was good, however what I mean't was he really looked like something special when Shug tried him on turf the first time. Then later that yeat at Gulfsteam he wired a very good field in BC mile setting some extraordinary fractions.

Speaking of PartyManners youtube vids, did anyone mention Smarty Jones, I remember seeing that one posted somewhere. That one deserves a mention.
