run this summer, and perhaps one in the Kd 2007,is this correct ?,, and if so who has the colts, how many are there ?

Dude,
He bred mares in 2004, they were born in 2005. They are yearlings this year. And they will race in 2007 as two year olds.
What did you think? That horses have a few month gestation period?
His first crop will be 3 yo's in 2008, and since the Prince has one of the finest collections of quality broodmares, I would expect he will sire some very nice horses, although don't expect all of them to be extremely precocious.

ya i forgot they needed to gestate, opps !

well then who are the first year crop sires from 2002 that should runs at 2 this year. this summer ???

They are already running. It wasn't a banner year in terms of new sires that year. One that have been expected to make a splash are:
Came Home
Johannesburg
Jump Start
Yonaguska
Include
among others.

who was the derby winner that year, monarchos ?
little busy this am, memory a little off, well who won the derby that year and anything from him ?

Hes already had winners. One in particular was pretty good at keeneland before running back and being nowhere. Since he stood at Farish's place, you can bet he got great mares. I expect him to have quite a few runners.

I am excited to see Johannesburg's babies run this year...they should be able to run on anything.

He hasn't broken his maiden yet I don't think. I saw a couple at Keeneland and I think I saw one entered at Arlington last week, maybe not though

Im not an expert judge of looks but he and Shakspear are the best looking horses I have ever seen. The had the look of a winner. Too bad that we didnt get to see much of him. The few of his kids that I have seen have been a disapointment of course only a small sample so far,

I believe I saw one running at Churhill on Sunday, can't remember how he ran.
