With regard to the Pleasantly Perfects, I know they are bred to run long. I'm not concerned with their workout times. I'm concerned with the way they move. I've only seen a limited sample, but the PPs I've seen have not had a nice way of moving at all.

Just went through all of the Lion Hearts and Speightstowns.

I've got updated video quality on my computer now, so it is just like watching the videos on the TV. I stream the videos onto a bearshare account now, and the quality is much better. So, I can actually see them very well without getting the preview videos from the sales now. Just so that you know that I can see exactly what I am looking at.

Rich, there is one Speightstown and one Lion Heart that blow the rest of the Speightstowns and Lion Hearts out of the water. You will know which two I am talking about. Nice, nice horses. So excited. Love two-year-olds in training sales.

The Smarty Jones look fair so far...

The PPs remind me of the Mineshafts from last year. Of course, I don't think people are hyping the PPs like they were the Mineshafts. There was that one Mineshaft filly from the Keeneland sale that was just awesome though. Otherwise, there weren't too many good Mineshafts at the sales. I don't think that a single other Mineshaft made my list or even got a maybe from the sales except for the Keeneland filly last year. Of course, like you said, it is a limited sample of the horses so far.
