Kinda pulling from another topic that raised the question about A P Indy foals being late maturers. What sires are then somewhat linked to hardy 2year olds? (present or historical)
trying to come up with something brillant..... this may take a while. :)

IMHO, the entire storm cat crew is known for good 2YO's.

I think that is part of why storm cat is so commercial.

I like to think of Unbridled/Unbridled Song as siring good 2YO's.

So would that same list/opinion be valid if I were to add the condition that not only do they have good 2 yo's but that the same 2 yo's are durable and suffer fewer breakdowns? I guess I am trying to zero in on lines that not only have had good early runners, but early runners who can make it to 4 or 5 without career ending injury.... :?

I always liked the Valid Appeal line two year olds.

I like Mr Greeley, and Why Why Why has gotten some precocious ones that could go on to longer careers.

I like Smoke Glacken. If looked after properly his two year olds can be precocious and sound, and run on for several years after.
