Look at it the same way you would any other card. There are plenty of trainer stats for 2yr olds. Dont try to be 2 clever, do the same thing you would for any other card. I agree about watching 2yr old races, I love it. GL

There is no requirement to bet every card.

A card like today's at CD is great for looking for next out opportunities or just hoping to see a star in the making. For making money, not so much.

If you don't like betting babies, better to walk away, or look it over and watch the races with an eye toward later races. (Those horses might be needed down the line in a P3 or P4 situation.)

I like them but I mainly look for angles I like to play with young horses including stretchouts, surface changes and class moves. If I don't see an angle I like, I look over the race and watch, but don't bet. There are planty of betting opportunities elsewhere.

IMO the stars of tomorrow card late in the CD meet is the toughest card of the year to bet. You have a bunch of 2 year olds, who's abilities are still not determined; many of whom have never run, and the majority of those who have run, have only run on Polytrack at Kee, AP or TP. Great card to pass.
