I think you only go to this if you have a juvy you don't expect to hold together at 3 but is in form now...
The last 2 years of the Jackpot for instance...
2008
Big Drama (Did fine at 3..)
West Side Bernie (Did OK at 3; sold to Godolphin..)
Stimulus Plus (What happened to him?)
Retap (Who knows...)
Terrain (Dead)
Skipadate (Never materialized)
Valid Message
Trinity Magic
Three PartHarmony
2007
Z Humor (Wasted talent ruined by Zayat/Sobhy Sonbol)
Turf War (Never much horse thereafter)
Golden Yank.. (A personal favorite that turned out OK long term)
Racecar Rhapsody (Moscow Derby?)
Overextended (!!!)
St. Joe
Cave's Valley (Won a race or two but wasn't what Trombetta hoped for..)
Betatron
Take the Money
Cudjo
2008 Princess (Kind of interesting... Gifts, Jenda and Silk have been OK..)
Four Gifts
C. S. Silk
Smokin Again
Loveyou Everybody
Just Jenda
Seacrettina
Phoenician Moon
Southern Yankee
Garter Belt
