The Friend's Lake Two Year Olds Look Pretty Good

[Rupert Pupkin]

I have seen at least 4 different Friend's Lake Two Year Olds that look like they can run. I don't know if any of them are stars but they definitely look like runners. I wasn't a huge fan of Friend's Lake as a racehorse but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from his offspring.
I finally saw a nice Pleasantly Perfect Two Year Old. There is a PP filly at Barrett's who looks like she can run. She is the first decent PP that I've seen.

Same thing I said, Rupert. Hip 33 from last month's two year old in training sale in Ocala was a very nice looking horse. He went for 450k to Padua.

Check him out:

Also, let me know what you think of hip 93 (an Indian Charlie colt purchased for West Point.)

Yes, I remember that horse. He worked really well. His knee action was slightly high. He actually moved a little like Barbaro.

Yeah, he did a little bit. Nice looking colt... looked like a real runner.

FWIW I liked a lot of the Friends Lake yearlings that I looked at last fall....but I wasn't a fan of the horse, so didn't give them much credit.

I don't follow 2YO sales much...but will be very interested in how hip 148 sells. He was a classy, smart, good-looking yearling, reminded me a lot of his brother.

also have a mild interest in hip 97 just because her 2nd dam is by the sire of my horse

Heyyyy. You gonna have to give the PP's alittle while to mature. I am just glad that alot of them are being kept by there breeders, that way they will be given the time to mature. I just love him, as my screename shows!!

Pleasantly Perfect was a great racehorse. I was a fan of his. I don't blame you for being a big PP fan.

450k for a friends lake............. does not make much sense to me.

looks like 2009 (or was that a yearling, which would be 2010) is the year we'll have a triple crown winner.

Who's the dam, what does it look like, how fast did it work? These are also factors in how much the horse goes for at a 2yo in training sale. Makes more sense than $16 million for a Forestry, anyway.

Speaking of 16 million horses has anyone heard how "he who must remain nameless" is taking to being a man on the prowl??

if i remember correctly friends lake won 1 meaningful race in his career, and his breeding is not very good, i dont have pp's but i am pretty sure. 450k seems like a lot, what is his stud fee ? cant be more then 15k
