First impressions:

• All four foals will be quick to mature. A positive for impatient trainers like me.
• War Machine produced a filly for me for the second straight year. This one looks a sprinter as opposed to the classic-distance loving Rogue from last year. Domino was the only filly in this years batch from War Machine.
  
• The other three foals all prefer alot of distance and have surface flexibility. Traits I was hoping for.
• I'm especially pleased with the Nightwing/Shattered Record colt. His lengthy peak performance, surface adaptability, and excellent stamina have us very excited.
