1st time runner
108.3
looked real professional

name i beleive is [atreides] this one could be special

You saw it right.. 105 Beyer for Dreaming of Julia 3yo brother Atreides (Medgalia d'Oro) in debut..

Late switching leads, but looked great!

He will never run that fast again...if he even runs again.

I know it's Emerald Downs, but a 2yo by the name of Trackattacker set a new 4.5f track record of 49 4/5 on debut and again just smashed another field in 6f in 1:08 1/5. Like I said, I know it's EMD but this is one quick two year old...

There was 132k of 139k in the show pool so obviously someone thought this was a sure thing (bad field aside)

That said, the Emerald strip was hot yesterday with the Maiden Claiming $5000 level going 21:3 and 44:4 (final time 1:11:4) in the tenth. In the seventh, they went 22:0, 43:4, 1:07:2, and 1:13:4 for 6 1/2f.
