Wildcat Frankie

[The Indomitable DrugS]

He was a nice sprinter ... but kind of a cripple.

I remember that I bet Wildcat Heir in the Breeders Cup Sprint that Lost In The Fog tanked in.

Wildcat Heir was vanned off - and that was it for his racing career.

Aren't those the two necessary ingredients for most young stallion prospects nowadays?

[MISTERGEE]

it will be interesting to see if these can run past there 2 yo seasons. But you might not need them to if you run them once then sell them to the usual suspects.

What did he go off at?

the phones probably started ringing before the horse posed for his picture.

Hatchett also trained a nice Calder maiden winner in 2002.

Midas Eyes broke his maiden by 8 going 5.5f at Calder for Hatchett - got an 84 Beyer.

The Bobby Frankel/Ed Gann machine bought him right after that race.

He won The Swale by almost 10 lengths in 1:21 flat his next start. 110 Beyer and crushed Posse and Whywhywhy.

Midas Eyes only managed a single Grade 1 stakes win for Frankel though ... when you get one that can run an 84 Beyer for Hatchett - and you go to the Frankel machine - big letdown of a purchase.

He also just missed in another G1 to none other than Wildcat Heir.

I did too. I remember waffling big-time on whether or not he would be ready because of all the gaps coming in, but ended-up using him as the key horse in that race. Oops.

Yep. I hated most everything in that field ... at least Wildcat Heir had a few real strong races here and there. Too bad we got the crippled version of him that day.

Silver Train won that race...i'm sure you remember.

Silver Train was another sprinter who made his debut at Calder as a 2yo ... only difference is that he wasn't much of an exciting prospect at Calder. George Mikhalides trained him down there ... and he kind of sucked.

Dutrow Jr. took care of that sucking problem in a big way.
