Believe it or not, that was actually not a bad field. The horses that ran 1-2 in there can run. That horse Sourdough Sam is not a bad horse. In his debut, he had a ton of trouble and still won by 7 lengths. He's got a really nice turn of foot. He had a pretty bad trip in the stakes race. The horse that won the race has really improved and has turned into a decent horse. I think he could compete in Southern California. Tiny Woods' race up there was actually not as bad as it looked.

Both of the top two finishers in that race had troubled trips. The winner was lucky to stay up and Sourdough Sam had a terrible, terrible ride. Sam's come home time in his prior race was outstanding.

Lookin at Lucky might be a decent horse but beyond that nothing of note has shown much in the 2yo colt division in socal.

He is going to the Futurity... I think the group he beat last time was horrible, but he might be ok. I doubt he can beat Looking At Lucky.

He beat a nwot alw, right?

I wouldn't expect a 2yo allowance race to ever be good.

What's impressive is the way he runs.

Where did you read he is going to the Futurity? Did you also read that Lookin at Lucky is also going there too? This would be surprising to me, as Baffert trains both of them and they both look like serious race horses. I really don't think Baffert would risk losing with Lucky in this spot.

What gives you those doubts?

He's relaxed and finishes strong, is a big strong long striding mofo and both his sire and broodmare sire could run long.

I'm more concerned about his durability. As per the norm for the great sire of this horse, the first two dams I believe were unraced.

I LOVE Winslow Homer (the horse, not the painter). By Unbridled's Song out of a Summer Squall mare. November 20 race at Philly Park was just AWESOME. He went a mile with the utmost ease, and the added distance will only help. Larry Jones may have retired 1 year too early.

I could be wrong, but I dont think Jones has anything to do with this horse. I think its Tony Dutrow.

Is this the horse who won the off the turf race at Toga, he beat the Maker Ghostzapper who then came back to win on the turf, who has now turned into a pig.

Yes, the winner actually clipped heals at the 3/8 pole. That was pretty amazing that he still won. I hope he comes out of the race in one piece.
