He was still learning the game when he got hurt. I know you have a weanling by Jump Start, and since you've thought that he'd do well as a sire, I figured I'd give you a heads up.

Thanks a bunch! Yeah, I really like Jump Start....He has a half sister by Ole Triest named Steady Course and she ran a FG when I wokred there and let me tell you, she MAY have beaten Ashado in the FG Oaks had she not broken down in mid-stretch and never race again....she blew up on the turn effortlessly under Sellers and I swear I thought she was going to make it close (I bet Ashado and she was the only filly that I was nervous about when they turned for home)....she cruied to the second position almost under her own courage, running by Victory USA like she was standing still and then took a bad step and was eased home last, while Ashado won easily and Victory USA came back top get second (only because Steady Course broke down)...Dallas Stewart was sick....you want to talk about a filly with endless talent that never got to really show it..It was her....I love that whole family..
