Pedigree Query

I know many young stallions now have their first 2 yr olds at the track, in training or now racing..who all has first winner from their first crop of 2 yr olds? Freud has 3 so far that I know of at Saratoga....who else?

I'm most impressed with City Zip and really happy to see Globalize has winner.

I again point out, "Where's the love for Forest Camp?" This horse is hitting at a pretty good clip as is the way under the radar Minardi.

The Minardi's have *always* been under the radar as he has been since he was retired. Good value for a 2yo champion who comes from one of the most reliable stallion producing families in the world.

I did want to add though that its too early to pronounce him as a good "breed to race" type stallion (although I think thats how he'll end up) and doesnt sell enough to be considered as a safe sales bet... BUT like I said, I do think he'll be a very solid breed to race candidate and wouldnt be surprised to seem him dip into the 7,500 area.

austique, this should make you feel better:

Forest Camp has a perplexing pedigree, but he is a very stout sprinter and puts out beautiful sales babies, that continue to bring good money each sale. His short career was due to an abscess in his hock, not due to inherent soundness problems. He really stamps his foals in looks, and apparently on the track as well.

When I first contacted Airdrie with a request to send Shake On It to another of their stallions two years ago, Gov. Jones responded with a suggestion to bring her to Forest Camp, and take advantage of the inbreeding to Jabneh/Grass Shack. Since I'd never heard of him, I ignored the suggestion. When I saw his grand Keeneland weanlings the next year, I sure wished I'd heeded his advice. I bet his fee increases to $25-30K next year, as he will be in demand.

Shake went instead to Sligo Bay, and I couldn't be more happy with his filly Starlight Bay. Big trunk, big hip, smart, athletic, nice legs.
