Interesting Alw OC 75k N1X (2yo 6.5F) features two sons of Bernardini that were impressive in their debuts.

Consortium - Darley homebred won at this distance ($13.50 to 1) versus 11 other runners at Aqueduct last month earning a 77 beyer speed figure.

Algorithms - Starlight runner returns with a nice string of works after a professional debut on June 3rd (BEL) at odds on going 5 furlongs earning a 78 beyer speed figure.

Both have tremendous upside and are worth following at this point.

Personally, I have a Kentucky Derby future ticket on Algorithms at 150-1. Consortium is currently an underlay at 50-1 at Wynn Race Book. My other future bet is on Casual Trick, also by Bernardini at 125-1.

For the record, I won't be changing my moniker to Bernardini 1985 any time soon.

I've been waiting for Algorithms for ages - both the races he entered in this past weekend didn't fill, though I suspect he would have been scratched yesterday. Much as I love him, I have doubts about Algorithms stretching out as his entire female family is full of sprinters despite the dam being by Cryptoclearance.
