Anyone have any 2YOs they like?

Yeah, I think it was Steve that brought him up, cause I wrote it down too.

I was pretty high on a 2 year old named Bear's Hard Ten up until his last race. He ran lousy in an allowance race at Woodbine and he didn't appear to have any excuses. We'll see if he can bounce back tomorrow. He's running in a stakes race at Woodbine tomorrow. If he runs the way he is capable of running, I think he can win. I'm just not sure which horse will show up tomorrow after the poor effort in his last race. The fact that Reade Baker is running him in this stakes race after the poor effort in the allowance race is a good sign. You wouldn't think they would run him in this spot if he wasn't doing well. Maybe they corrected whatever it was that caused him to run so poorly last time. He's had 6 weeks off since that race and he's showing some good works. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

I don't know if any of you saw the race today, but he did run the way I always thought he was capable of running. He won by 5 lengths. I was disappointed with the price. He only paid $7.60. He had just gotten crushed in a nwx1 allowance race. The race today was a $150,000 stakes race. It was only a 7 horse field, but I would have still expected to get 5-1.

How about the Jerkens first timer today at Aqueduct, he spots the field almost 10 lenghts and wins for fun. Bet off the tote early. Afleet Alex is the sire.

impressive...though I tend to discount any run in the slop...obviously a very talented horse.

The time was pretty slow, but the way he was bet you have to think hes the goods.

Im kinda excited to see this one run first time dirt at Gulfstream.

I hope he can run as well on dirt as synthetic. He does have some grass breeding on his bottom side. His dam's dam is by Diesis (GB). Some horses that have some grass breeding on the bottom side run better on synthetic than regular dirt. Although this horse has a half-brother that won on the dirt. I'm not sure about his half-sister. I don't have her PPs.

Anyway, my best guess is that Bear's Hard Ten will handle regular dirt but we won't know for sure until he tries it.

By the way, things are starting to pick up for RHT a little bit. This is his 2nd stakes winner in the last week.

BHT's half-sis was 22/4-3-4 on dirt, all in sprints, with a high Beyer of 72.

You are talking about Playinthemeadow, right? How do you get the full record like that? That would be very useful for me.

Was looking at Tiz Chrome's female family (anybody got a picture of TC himself?) and realized his dam's half to Designed for Luck who appears to've vanished into the ether. Does anybody know what happened to him?

ETA: Found this vid of TC, still can't see him up close but it was fun to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz0Iy...ayer_embedded#

But yeah, you were right in implying that my post wasn't very clear when I was talking about who was related to Street Cry.

Actually still not quite there. Shamardal's dam Helsinki is a full sister to Street Cry, her being by Machiavellian out of Helen Street. Shamardal's not full or half anything to SC, I guess you say he's 'from the immediate family of' or something?

Yeah. Lack of sleep is killing me.

I tried saying that the dam of Shamdaral is a full to Street Cry. I don't know how I messed that one up so bad in the second post.

Tiz Chrome is a cool lookin horse.

No worries. We've all been there. I rewatched the race again and wow Tiz Chrome's face is striking. All of him really, they weren't kidding with the chrome reference.

I noticed after the Lost Code discussion regarding Lost Aptidude and Maximus Ruler that Tiz Chrome and Walking the Beach are both out of Woodman mares.
