Two that are in the race today - Dublin and One Note Samba - were impressive in their MSW victories at the Spa.

Andy made a comment yesterday on Talkin' Horses about it being Saratoga and having good 2-year-old races... I'm not sure if this is related or not but it did jog my memory about the lack of breakthrough/standout 2-year-old performances. Usually there are a few per week that generate buzz.

Hot Dixie Chick has been about as good as almost anything you'll ever see for 2yo fillies this time of year.

If you're looking for a serious horse for next year ... I'd say without question that Maker Ghostzapper Stately Victor struck me as super impressive on both surfaces. His dirt debut was sneaky strong.

Hes gonna be a serious horse for the big poly races coming up this fall.
starting with the Breeders Futurity at Kee next month.

As will the Pletcher (Interactif) in turf/poly stakes.
Another serious 2yo colt Im interested in where he shows up next is Bridgetown for Ken McPeaked.

Totally agree with this one, he did get a perfect trip Saturday, but he also exploded up the fence. Some babies wont go through like that.

While not at Saratoga, She Be Wild, at Arlington is an impressive undefeated 2 YO filly. She has been throttled down at the end of each of her three victories.

Old thread but thought it would be relevant after her BC win!
