Another racing season is about to begin and I can't help looking through rose-colored glasses.
I have waited patiently for a home-bred War Machine colt and I'll finally have one racing this year when the 17 hand dark brown sprinter Ultron springs into action.
In the first two War Machine crops, I had just one foal each season. Rogue, the filly out of Dragon Flyer, and Domino, the filly out of Sharp Cat. Rogue has been a solid contributor and looks to have a strong campaign in 2012. Domino had just 6 races as a 2yo, compiling a steady mark of 6-1-1-1.
Finally, in the third War Machine crop in 2010, this strapping colt was born out of Otsego's beloved and mercurial mare, Nova. With such noteworthy parents, we feel Ultron is a good bet to be a fast, front-running contender.
He'll train for awhile yet, even though he is ready to race now. We have an aversion to 20-horse fields and unfortunately, those are simply a fact of life for 2yo's early in the season.
Keep your eyes open for this one though. The blood doesn't get any bluer, and his name is TIGHT.
