Mister Fantastic: "He's almost ready"

That is the recent assessment made by our trainers concerning the late-blooming 3yo bay colt, Mister Fantastic.

By Dayjur out of Exotic Wood, he has speed in his blood. However, he has shown a little more stamina than either of his parents, leading us to believe that he will eventually compete in races as long as 10 furlongs.

Knowing he wasn't ready, but wanting to test him a bit, we sent MF out to race once as a 2yo in the 5 furlong Cooper Stakes. He finished last in a field of 7 horses with a PSR of 63. Not up to our stable goal of at least 90, but slightly encouraging nonetheless.

We've decided to continue training for awhile yet. He'll hit the track again probably in late March or April.
