If they have had a race that's when you can see the trip the horse had, other than that if it's a 1st timer and you have never seen the horse, it's luck and I don't kid myself otherwise...
You can see a 1st timer in the post parade and see what he is about, I just watch their head, you can tell if a horse is focused or not....

I think Came Home will be a good sire, never really cared much for him as a race horse, but I think he will be a good sire, not exactly breakthrough stuff, seeing as he is by Gone West...I like Zito's horse in the BCJ...

Came Home has been off to a terrible start so far. Its funny, someone who's eye I respect for horses said she liked them the best as yearlings, but the one's I saw werent anything special. A few seems to be coming on a little late in the year though. He has a filly named Desert Sunrise that should be a runner but she just cant put it together at all. Her dam has thrown class to everything else.
