speightstown is an unknown obviously, this being his first crop to race. northern afleet and EQ were mentioned-elusive quality was a record setting miler. northern afleet also ran at longer distances than speightstown, who was a good horse at 6-7 f. so i can see where there might be more ??'s regarding what he'll get. now, haynesfield has shown he can rate, but certainly isn't afraid of leading either. speightstown siring a derby winner would certainly fit the trend from the last few years, where new sires had a derby winner right off the bat.

I think it's pretty interesting that Speightstowns are seeing success right off the bat given his injury-riddled career (as pointed out in the above article). It's not like sons of Gone West have sired nothing but a bunch of sprinty types anyway. The Gotham will be an interesting test.
