One quarter of the 2014 racing season is already gone, and eight of my nine 2yo's have yet to see the track.
My patience was ebbing when I threw Deep Magic out there in a field that was bigger than I prefer. I was rewarded with a poor trip and a disappointing finish. Now a couple weeks later, the yearn to see what these youngsters are made of is gnawing at my resolve.
I've got 8 other dandies that are waiting in the wings and I'm not sure how much longer I can hold off, large fields or not.
Azrael (Nightwing x Affirm Gal) - Classic distance, multi-surface. First out of Affirm Gal, this colt carries high expectations.
Captain Britain (Union Jack x Flawless) - Long distance turf. With his talent and picture perfect AR, we think Union Jack will be a superior stud.
Kit Fisto (War Machine x In Spirit) - Long distance, multi-surface.
Mocha Milkshake (Memcay x Gourmet Girl) - Long distance dirt. Slow to mature. Won't run this year. Might consider selling this fellow for the right price.
Moondragon (Moet x Monsoon) - Finicky surface miler. Hoping for Moet-type speed here.
Quasar (Revenge x Nova) - Dirt miler. The planets are aligning for a superstar here. Everything looks good.
Xtra Run (Run Missy Run x Xtra Heat) - Classic distance dirt. Speed x speed = speed. Has more stamina than we expected though.
You Know My Name (Union Jack x Shattered Record) - Classic distance dirt.
Can't wait!

Bleh i got 9 unraced 2yo`s myself .. The way i see it is u not losing much by not racing em early on as most of the races are worth $50,000 its not till about halfway through the season when the real money comes into play

You're right Foxie. Why get into those 20-horse scrums for a measly $30,000? Even if you've got a winner, it's probably even odds that your horse will get porked in traffic. Much better to wait until the field sizes shrink a bit later in the season when there are more races.
