She ran the last half furlong in under 3 seconds?

Sounds too fishy for me.

EDIT: Unless the internal ones are off too -- but doesn't it seem a little off for her to go 21.45, 46.05, 48.87?

Can't wait to watch that one when I get home.

He sure did. He also had two fillies take some nice MSW races at Santa Anita. I think he is winning like at 90% with 2 year olds.

bring the heat, the sire of this filly, was a horse of much talent.

like most other speedy offspring of inxs though, his career didnt last very long.

does anyone know if this is his first runner? where he stands?

this is actually his second crop, and he's apparently had very few foals.
he had another 2yo filly win nicely for ward at sa recently too, excessive heat.

that was a 1/4 mile race though, so it wasnt that impressive

The Keeneland surface has been blazing.

Both a Yankee Gentleman colt and a Lemon Drop Kid filly worked 2/8s in 20 1/5 at the first preview of the two-year-olds in training sale on Monday. That is a new world record in itself. Think about what one of the top sprinters in the country could have done! A Mineshaft filly worked 1/8 in 9 3/5. While it is not uncommon for an extremely fast two year old to occassionally run a 9 3/5 or 9 4/5 for the 1/8 (For example, the Red Bullet Colt that everyone was raving about that sold for a million or two million+-I can't remember how much money off the top of my head-went 9 3/5 at the Barretts May last year.), as many as 10+ two year olds have ran 9 4/5 for the 1/8 at the first preview of the Keeneland sale.

it seems the poly is clearly an improvement over the dirt...just the idea of running these kids full blast just doesn't seem right, regardless of the surface.

There was some speculation as to how long it would take before One Hot Wish gets injured, retired, and bred to Unbridled's Song at age 3.

Here's a question for everybody, does it help when a stallion who's thought of as having potential for late developing offspring has a 2yo go blazing fast or is it really just a form of overcompensating that everyone can smell a mile away? That most of the offspring won't really be capable of that or stay sound if pushed that hard that soon. Will those 2yo with breeding that doesn't, in the slightest, indicate precocity even amount to anything on the track and will the plan to make it appear as if the best offspring are really super secret sprinters (and ergo commercial) be foiled?

I mean does anybody really expect Lemon Drop Kid's babies to rock 6 furlongs without a good swift kick to the butt? Maybe I'm not being fair. I'm just curious because I can get it if they say certain sires had flashy 2yo sales horses but sometimes you go "Really? They were by who? Nah you're messing with me."
