Thanks for the heads up, Joey... I'm adding him to my stable mail. Haven't seen him run, but I like his pedigree.

I don't think it was a bad field at all.

When he went to that sale he should have brought more...he was a really good looking colt...but being a may foal he just mentally wasn't ready for the sale environment...he behaved like an absolute pig all week...

Did you see kentuckyderby.com? The "Southern" guy on there wrote an article about him saying he wished he hadn't already picked his RTTR horses, or he would have included him.

Looks like he was impressed too.

On another site there was a contest where you had 2 million to purchase three 2y olds. Your picks were then followed during their 2y old season and the winner was the one who earned the most money. Ketchikan was one of my horses there. He did not do so good as a 2y old, and the contest fell apart anyway.
