H Ross

2/1

Bred to an ”F” rated mare with a very abbreviated career.  Colt has four wins in eight starts to date and hasn’t been OTM yet.  He has speed to burn and others will find it hard to challenge his ability break quickly.  Those that try had better fill their tanks.  Ross doesn’t leave any prisoners when on a mount such as this.

Interesting name for this scratch bred by Medicean.  What’s also interesting is the sire usually produces turf progeny and this colt likes it brown.  Sitting in a good position for a late run, he should turn it on in the stretch.  Last out showed a big move in shorter.  Top form for this.

6/1

Colt out of an “F” rated mare in the “first come, first serve pool”.  The mare has produced some stakes ability progeny, but BML isn’t in that group to date.  Two tries have left this colt wanting, and he’ll have to prove otherwise in this.  Appears to need the front end, but will have to deal with the #1 horse.  Tough task here.

4/1

Personal Hope sired colt from a mare that has already produced a stakes progeny.  Has legit speed and stalk ability.  Two tries at stakes have netted two show places albeit in five horse fields.  Should cash a check.

Z Wylde

8/1

HOF DelPenn trainer that has been around for years, but is as quiet as a mouse.  Colt is bred to a “D” rated mare and sired by Cat Thief.  Has two wins in four starts, but doesn’t have the SP’s to rate as anything but a long shot.  Likes the front which isn’t cool in this and has “bad boy” Wylde in the irons.

6/1

Sired by Stormy Atlantic and bred to a “G” rated mare this colt wins 1^st time out.  Looks to have some promise in the future, but as with all 2yos pushed into stiffer competition immediately, probably won’t show up.  This fact is based on the many that have tried.  However, there are a few youngsters surprise.  This would be one J

9/2

He/she mare of the “G” variety coupled with a bargain sire produces a very nice colt here.  Ran an awesome race last out to finish 2^nd in a credible 81SP.  Stalker type that fits well here.  Outside post won’t hurt as all the jock has to do is put him in position behind front runners.  However, colt has been unable to “finish the job” in the stretch as of late.  Colt looks to be at peak form…contender.
