Nice 7 furlong 2yo race at Churchill today

The KK Yonegwa race was a monster maiden race.

oh yea.


this turned out to be a pretty solid race.
Eaton's Gift ran them off their feet. Looks like a versatile power sprinter type.

Referee finished well enough that you have to expect good things from him in the future. This could possibly be a horse that makes some noise in the prep races...

Stevil will become the best of this group.
Slow start and wide trip. Tough to make up any ground today.
I'm no Zito fan, but he has a solid group of 2yos. Watch out for Da'Tara.
Definitely breaks maiden next out.

I vividly remember handicapping that race - and thinking it was a VERY tough looking early season 2yo maiden race.

I could not believe how much money Eaton's Gift was taking when the betting opened! He was being bet like he couldn't lose...and was even alarmingly live in offshore internet exchange markets.

I think something like three or four stakes winners have come out of that race. Besides the top two finishers - Breeders Cup Juvenile 6th place finisher Old Man Buck was also in that 4.5 furlong dash.

No doubt about it Drugs, that was a serious heat. The money EG took in that race was no fluke.

Take a look at the offshore exchanges on Time Flies when she debuted at Kland at 36 to 1, missed the break by 10 and got beat a nose on the line.
