I like Paladin Bay (fillies 2), Go Greeley (males 2), Nipissing (fillies 3), Up With The Birds (males 3), Sisterly Love (older mares), Alpha Bettor (older males), Solid Appeal (turf girls), Forte Del Marmi (GB) (turf males), Goldstyke Glory (sprinters mares), Phil's Dream (for sprinter male...tough against Essence Hit Man), Shebandowana (broodmare).

Let's see how right (or wrong) I am!

I can never guess for breeder, owner, trainer. Too confusing for me!

For HOY I pick Up With The Birds. But I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to Phil's Dream.

I suspect Paladin Bay will get the 2 year old filly Sovereign, but I recently bought the half sister to Lexie Lou and will be breeding her to Sligo Bay this year so i'm secretly rooting for her!

Why is Ria Antonia even in the consideration? From what I see, she won a MSW at Woodbine and was unplaced in two stakes races. I would regard her as a KY bred who won a US G1 race.
