Night Hunt .... no relation to Mike Hunt ... is still a maiden - and has only finished in front of one horse in his four race career. Never coming any closer than 23.75 lengths from victory.

However - better still - he "bore out" and was eased two starts back. Last time out he "broke inward sharply at the start" before once again being "eased" ... in other words - not only is this horse very slow .. but he also seems incapable of running in a straight line.

If people remember last year ... NYRA refused a Wood Memorial entry for some hopelessly slow Sunland filly - who was simply too slow to ever impact the race in any way shape or form.

Night Hunt has enough early speed to where he could impact the first three or four furlongs of the race - and due to his extremely erractic habits ... it's not impossible that he might bolt on the 1st turn and take someone with him. Or he might break inward again and wipe somebody out at the start.

Nothing would be better than to see racing officals have to refuse an entry from D. Wayne Lukas.

Who are the siblings of this horse?

Without looking it up - I know The Leopard is one.

Thanks, I recognized the dam's name, but couldn't think of who it was and couldn't check.

The Leopard is the only even remotely decent sibling from the looks of it.

The Leopard was the Fasig Tipton Calder sales topper the year after The Green Monkey.
