I think we often do this later in the year but there are undoubtedly 2yos you've seen and liked or a breeding you knew was coming up this year and want everybody to follow. Is there a 2yo you've seen, even if they've just been galloping, that you want us to know looked pretty interesting? Perhaps some guy you know that has a horse he's buzzing about as something special and might race it himself or joyfully sell the horse to the Sheikh?
I love following them in my DRF stable but it's fun to see someone go 'I called it!' before the fall races even get underway and have their picks end up making it on the Derby trail.

Well I'm sure if that's an indication of speed, he'll win the Triple Crown.
What's his dam's name?
Lil Bugger's up for grabs. I don't know that Bastard would get through the JC. If you want to be ironic, Here Kitty works.
Blockhead's available. There is also Like Bull which I actually find kinda amusing, especially when you say it with a French accent like Kevin Kline in the movie French Kiss, but maybe that's just me. The thing is it's tough and also kinda dirty and there's nothing the Jockey Club could do about it because it's more just naughty.
Always fun."Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana"

I've got a piece of a Hook And Ladder NY Bred filly that might have some run. We're considering passing up the KY Oaks and maybe running her in the Derby, instead.

Wow I'm amazed that the JC actually has their limits.
I have one that has the meaning "I'm a Hooker" would be going for but sounds rather elegant. The problem is I'm saving it. It's one of those that I think I might use myself one day or I'd let you have it.
