Colts I suppose you mean:

1) Street Sense
2) Scat Daddy
3) Nobiz Like Shobiz
4) Tiz Wonderful

...have been the most impressive to me to this point....tough to say, as I still think many of the better horses of this generation probably have yet to run....certainly, Minefield and Napa Cat and some other allowance types to this point have a lot of talent....I still think some forgotten horses who are hurt like Run Alex Run are very talented too...Great Hunter is the only colt on the West coast that I think is genuine so far...

You know, I think Tiz Wonderful is a talented horse. He will prob be better than a couple in my top 4. But right now, I would have to leave him out. Nobiz Like Shobiz just hasnt shown me enough yet. But those two have great potential. Prob more so that Quay and Greeley.

Its so early to tell which are genuine at this point...sveral will fizzle out and several will maure into better, abd then even more will surface in a few months as 3-year-olds....beware or Darley's expensive babies, as I hear they are LOADED for the Gulfstream meet with their best 2-year-old maidens....

Hell, Bernie Flint's colt is a helluva runner...the Unbridled Express horse....his problem is that he is an Unbridled's Song - thus he has major soundness issues...But he can REALLY run....

1.) Scat Daddy
2.) Street Sense
3.) Chace City
4.) Tiz Wonderful

Crazy as it sounds, I still think Unbridled Express is your 2007 Kentucky Derby winner.

I love your #1 .....and you certainly have a colt with plenty of talent if you like Unbridled Express to win the Derby because that horse trains like a freight train in the mornings ta CD - but I think he is pretty unsound...

Probably so... most of the Unbridled Song's are, albeit extremely talented. Do you know if he's crooked? If they play their cards right and keep him sound, you never know...

That's a shame... imagine what these Unbridled's Song babies could do if they were actually built straight. Is Octave crooked like that too?

Talking in my opinion

I am still a firm believer in Officer Rocket! Look at his previous wins before the Iriquois. He was displaced in his last race and is back to form......he had an excellent 5/8 work yesterday. His time in the SLOPPY Arlington-Washinton futurity was a hair off Tiz Wonderful's win on a fast track. Just my two SENSE!

Street Sense
No Biz Like Shobiz
Great Hunter
Circular Quay/Scat Daddy (Since one of them will get hurt)

Honorable Mention: C P West

That's my top four too. I guess that great minds think alike. LOL.

Of course, I would put Scat Daddy in the number 4 spot, and move Nobiz Like Showbiz and Tiz Wonderful up after his performance in the BC Juvy. Still, I think that Scat Daddy is a little bit better animal than he showed in that race. I'm not sure if he is going to love added distance though.

I also still like CP West (not giving up on this guy yet), Day Pass, and a colt named Westwon in addtion to the others that you mentioned. I'm missing some...maybe I willl think of them later.

But my favorite two year old right now is Zada Belle. That filly is going to go on to do GREAT things. I'm a huge fan already. LOVE HER!

I also love a filly named Successful Outlook (Orientate). I think that she is that Asmussen filly that I have mentioned before.
