Add one more to this list of good colts(on paper) with no foundation. Samhoon an AP Indy out of a Mr. Prospector mare. Sold for 1.4 million last Fall. Started to work at Sar in July, moved to Bel then back to Sar, and now has gone to Palm Meadows. Having several works in the north, and starting now in Fl. he should be ready to start early on in the Spring. But, again, to me, its awful hard to go from 0 to 1 1/4 in 4 months, but not impossible I reckon. Of course they could also run this year at Crc. I've noticed Pletcher with a few there in MSW races lately.

I think he's in my stable mail...

Welcome to the board, by the way.

Thanks for the heads up. The no racing as a two year old is a huge indicator for me when capping the Derby. To me, it tells me the horse either A) isnt good right now or B) had some injuries.

I guess this doesn't really apply since Bernie didn't race in the Derby, but Bernardini's first start wasn't until Jan of '06. He won the Withers a week before the Derby... I doubt anyone was beating Barbaro on Derby day, but it makes you wonder if he would have had a shot...

No shot, there were more then 4 horses in the race.

Hey genius, in case you didn't notice...

Bernardini finished 2nd to a very nice horse in the BCC. I would venture to say that he would have had a shot.
