2yo's of '08

[ateamstupid]

Where are Smarty's two-year-olds? I thought offspring usually hit the track four years after a horse retires?

The Smarty Jones offspring have looked pretty subpar in juvenile sales.

However, in comparison to Saarland, he is Mr. Prospector

Not a lot of positive word on the Smarty Jones progeny.

Thanks. I just haven't seen any, and was perplexed.

Bred in 2005, born in 2006, 2YO in 2008.

I saw a couple this morning.

That's what I thought.

I didn't expect anything great, and I'm actually hoping they flop.

There have been a few shockingly impressive young stallions in the juvenile sales season.

Sky Mesa's 1st crop was an embarassment - he's really got a few that can run in this his 2nd crop though.

How have the Lion Hearts looked?

In the Hollywood 2yo race that Backbackbackgone scratched out of (the one Drugs was discussing in another thread), the winner was a Lion Heart 2yo trained by Doug ONeil named Azul Leon.

They look really good. I think he has a good chance to be leading freshman sire. Pletcher has one who won very impressively at Keeneland. Her name is Pride. She ran in the 1st race on April 25th if you want to watch it.

I thought he was a really mediocre horse, and his progeny have been too.. Not saying you're wrong, but I'll believe it when I see it.

He has two of them that can't miss. One is headed to Japan and the other is with a trainer at the Fair Hill training center.
