The Young America was like Bid's letdown race .. oddly, his best race as a 2yo came nine days later in the Gr 1 LRL Futurity.

He destroyed General Assembly by 8.5 lengths in track record time. Clever Trick (who won 18 of 29 career starts - and sired Phone Trick - sire of 2yo horse of the year Favorite Trick and champion 2yo filly Phone Chatter) was 3rd beaten 20+ lengths.



It was one of the fastest races ever run by a 2-year-old .. and it marked The Bid's 3rd Grade 1 stakes win in a span of just 20 days.

Imagine today if a 2-year-old won 3 Grade 1's in a span of just 20 days.

I think the only way that could happen is if a 2yo won the last BC grade 1 prep, they make the bc juvi turf g1 and it wins that, then wins the bc juvi the next day.

No flames please. I'm thinking Quality Road outside of Florida, not somebody else.
