I like the way 143 filly moved over the turf. Half Ours out of Classy Mirage. She's a half to Dublin.

Wow, I thought for sure you would mention the English Channel that worked on the lawn. He did look pretty talented.

Honestly, how did they get him to work 20.4. You know when he does run he will be 10 lengths of a 24 opening split up at the Spa...

I love the ability to work a turf horse over the turf. I kinda thought that they might be doing some of these turf works to show people they could be Keeneland ready (poly).

Do they still have grass works at the Keeneland 2yo sale?

I actually just started on page 3, where the link started me, and went forward. Didn't think about going back.

You should get a years supply of ice if you by this one.

the Dublin connections have to get this one into Lukas's barn ASAP...Juan Carlos's cheek would have 3rd degree burns if he trained this one.

These 2 years old have to be banged up. They are all out at in 20 seconds. Can't people watch a effortless 25 sec quarter and still have a clue? How many of these have careers past a snazzy MDN SPL win?

It's nothing more than a rub and tug festival for people with too much money.

More than half of them will still be unraced by the end of this year.

How much that has to do with the training they're put through to prepare for these things - I have no idea.

A lot of good horses obviously come from them. Three of the last five champion 3yo's have (Lookin At Lucky, Big Brown, and Afleet Alex) - of couse Blind Luck came out of OBS April.

A lot of tough recent elite horses - that would pass for this generations brand of "iron horse" have come from out of them - Skip Away from OBS Feb, Silver Charm from OBS April, Xtra Heat from Fasig Tipton Timonioum etc.

They had to beat the crap out of the Stevie Wonderboys.

I really liked the sibling to J'Ray.

How many good horses have come out of this sale the last 2 years?
I can think of Munnings from 2009.
