Next Wave of Three Year Olds

[Pedigree Ann]

Now that they don't have to worry about training for real racehorse distances (10f or more), these trainers can concentrate on all the graded sprints and miler races to build the horses' reputations for future stud careers. sorry if I sound cynical, but that's the way horses are handled these days.

All of the money is in breeding today. The graded sprints aren't necessarily that great for future stud fees, but the 8F and 9F races sure are.

I noticed Lawyer Ron's name was not mentioned anywhere in that article. (even at the end where they named 10 "proven" 3yo). I thought the horse was back in training and was being pointed towards some of the big 9f races in the late summer and fall. Did I make this up?

i'm looking forward to his return...i see that Dr. Pleasure is running this wed. at belmont, according to haskins.

I guess every 3 year old that breaks his maiden is a potential superstar......

The other thing is that there are plenty of 3 year old races available right now to keep them all separated until Breeder's Cup Classic or Sprint or wherever they choose

It would be nice if South Of Broad became a good race horse ... because ...

... because the continued life of the Domino line depends on Broad Brush producing a son who becomes a successful stallion.

Good luck South Of Broad!

Heavens, Betsy ... you're right.

This happens every May/June/July ... a colt breaks his maiden by open lengths and everyone is projecting him into the Travers.

Hey ... if every maiden winner made the Travers ... they'd have to run it in eleven divisions!

Bright One will make a ton of noise before his career is over. Not sure about the others.

he is a son of Beautiful Pleasure by Thunder Gulch. he is stakes placed as a 2 yr old fininshing 2nd in a 6.5F test. he had a 5F work at the Spa on 6/23 in 102.91. there are 2 4 yr olds in this wed feature. Organizer is one. He's pretty tough, by Raffies Majesty, who sires some nice horses. Organizer is coming off a very game 2nd in the Ormsby S. (8F) over a wet track, on 6/8.
