I don't know.

It's Giant's Causeway's most expensive yearling from 66 offered at Public Auction sired by him in that crop...and in terms of the broodmare prospects GC covers, this one is below average. Which, in theory, is a sign that this horse looks perfect and stands out.

Pletcher also rarely debuts duds right before important sales, and there is an important yearling auction coming up on August 5th.

Still, I want no part of betting a horse like that in a debut dirt sprint. That's not precocious dirt sprint breeding. It's distance breeding and turf breeding. If it overcomes that fact and wins this race, a feather in the cap because it's not some cranked up standout 2yo sale horse who is better suited for this type of race.

Twang and Sky Drama are both promising second time starters. This horse will have its work cut out.

Thanks. I like Sky Drama. Twang not so much.

I thought for sure this was about 72 year old Anne Wheeler's ride at Vernon Downs last night.
