The 3yo's are finally starting to look less horrible

The obvious question now is how far will he go and how well will he run on dirt?

I think he projects pretty well for both. His sire Candy Ride put on a spectacular display when mopping the floor with a razor sharp Medaglia D' Oro at 10fs in the Pacific Classic. His 2nd dam Exchange won a Grade 1 at 10fs and a Grade 2 at 12fs - and ran very good 2nd's to top mares like Paseanna and Hollywood Wildcat on dirt.

The entire crew on the HRTV telecast of the San Vincente were positive that Sidney's Candy would love to route, citing Candy Ride and his race record as evidence.

While praising the sire, they noted he sired 2 grade 1 winners last year in Evita Argentina and Captain Candyman Can.

Interestingly enough, both won their Grade 1s (and did their best work) at 7f.
