Plenty of 2 yr olds in the Timonium Fas-Tip sale catalog.......8-)

Thanks!

assuming we bought one in August or Sept...
If I break the horse and do all of its early training in KY then it will be pretty minimal. If we send it to Ocala then it gets more costly. If we assume that a NYB race for 2 yo's wont go until July (possible) then there is no rush to get the horse to the track before May.

Timonium is a good sale

I for one am really interested in the group purchasing a NYB yearling. I've learned so much from the partnership for Sumwon. This would be a chance to learn about what it goes in to buying a younger horse and getting it ready for the races.

Chuck, I know you've had to deal with all of Sumwon's bad habits. This would be a way of making sure those bad habits don't develop in the first place.

It would be an exercise in patience. Having to wait almost a whole year before seeing the horse run in a race. But if you pick a good one, Chuck, this would be a chance for something special. Maybe even the BC Juvenile (at Santa Anita in 2008). Hey, I wouldn't even have to get on a plane. Cool.

The above sounds like a pretty darn good plan. I especially like the part about picking out something nice but reasonable, then taking the time to do it right - it won't end up having to be re-trained like Sumwon.
