The race begins in earnest for the Breeder\u2019s Bowl Juvenile Colts this weekend with 3 Graded races on tap for 2yo Colts, The Lad Stakes Grade I at 7 furlongs, Pea Patch Juvenile Grade III at 8 furlongs, and the Trixy\u2019s Delight Special Grade III at 8 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The winners of these races will collect glory, along with the all important 32 classic pts. and likely seal the deal to make the BB.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This weekend presents our first chance at allowing this crop of 2yo\u2019s the opportunity to finally stretch their legs in graded competition.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While many 2yo\u2019s have looked brilliant short sprinting, it\u2019s time to see if some of these quality route pedigree\u2019s begin to take over and dominate.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At this time in the 2yo season, anything can and will happen, with new stars stepping up each outing.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This takes us to the Grade III Trixie\u2019s Delight Special, to be run this weekend at the beautiful Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> track at the flat mile.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While this is a quality field, with some beautiful pedigrees, it only contains one graded winner, Rhibus.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rhibus scored a hard-fought victory LTO in the Grade III Abstract Juvenile at Maine<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> at 6.5 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Rhibus looked impressive in scoring his graded victory over a speed favoring track, which makes his effort look all the more impressive.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The other\u2019s in this quality field have showed some nice promise, and look to take nicely to the mile distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is the time when pedigree and the real ability starts to take over, should be a great weekend for racing!<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Let\u2019s take a look at the field by post position:<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PP1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Wonderboy Eamon (IRE)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner:stalfrank<\/P>

Breeding: Desert King x Pentelicus x Pine Bluff<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 15\/1<\/P>

Jockey: T Barnett\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>11%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Wonderboy Eamon is out of the 6yo mare, Parthenon who\u2019s foaled 2 winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Both of her offspring have stakes status, with her 1st<\/SUP> foal Wonderboy Dandy being stakes placed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While Parthenon wasn\u2019t prolific on the racetrack only winning 1 from 29, she\u2019s been very successful in the breeding shed, and has passed on her pedigree genes quite nicely.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Wonderboy Eamon started his career on the grass and promptly won 2 out of his 1st<\/SUP> three races. In his 4th<\/SUP> start Wonderboy Eamon tried the dirt for the 1st<\/SUP> time and drew off beautifully at 5.5 furlongs scoring his highest SP# to date, 85#<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Desert King, the sire of Wonderboy Eamon, was very successful on the racetrack winning the Grade I Irish Derby at 12 furlongs, as well as winning 2 other highly regarded Grade I\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So the pedigree on the sire\u2019s side definitely shouts distance, while on the mare\u2019s side you have so good old American sprinting influence, with some classic influences further back.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Wonderboy Eamon should relish the distance being offered up this weekend, it\u2019s just a matter of having the ability to step up in class.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I look for a bright future on either surface for this fine 2yo colt.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

PP2<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Essence of Jdawg<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Breeding: Essence of <\/SPAN><\/B>Dubai<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> x Danehill x Nijinsky II<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 31\/1<\/P>

Jockey: \u00a0<\/SPAN>C Romine 9%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Essence of Jdawg is a pure stratch bred from the 2nd<\/SUP> crop of Essence of Dubai, who I would consider average as a sire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He does look to get some late-developers who will get better with age, and as the distance\u2019s increase.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Essence of Jdawg will be making his his 7th<\/SUP> start this weekend while still having his maiden status.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To his credit he does have 2 3rd<\/SUP> place finishes, and looks like he wants some more distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He will find the going tough this weekend, and has picked a tough spot to break his maiden.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The chances of Essence of Jdawg will depend on his ability to relax early in the race, and sustain a run from the \u00bc pole.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The task is tough, but what the heck!\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PP3<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Lion of Tsavo<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner: buffy6<\/P>

Breeding: Lion Heart x Honor Grades x Mr. Prospector<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 10\/1<\/P>

Jockey: \u00a0<\/SPAN>W Baumann<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place> 11%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Lion of Tsavo is out of the 11 yr. old mare I. Honor, who has no previous owner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I. Honor won 2 out of 14 races with earning of nearly $40k.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her two foals to date are both stakes winners.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

So far so good for Lion of Tsavo, he has 2 wins from 3 career starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lto, he took the Paris Naskra Challenge at 6.5 furlongs by 1 \u00bc lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He scored an 85 SP# for that effort, and has the makings of a quality colt.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Lion Heart the sire of Lion of Tsavo was brilliant on the racetrack, winning the Grade I Hollywood Futurity and the Grade I Haskell with earning slightly over $1.3 million.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lion Heart also competed in the Kentucky Derby, taking 2nd<\/SUP> to the brilliant Smarty Jones.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lion Heart is a first year sire, and his crop looks to be precocious at this point.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Anything about Lion of Tsavo is hard to fault at this point, and wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see this dude be a factor next spring.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has the makings of a fine colt, and will just need to take the next step this weekend.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PP4<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Villain\u2019s Ghost<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner: over<\/P>

Breeding: A.P. Indy x Forty Niner x Nijinsky II<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 5\/1<\/P>

Jockey J Nason 12%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/P>

Villain\u2019s Ghost is sired by A.P. Indy out of the retired 5yo horse The Villain.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The Villain did his best damage on the racetrack sprinting taking 3 wins, while he did have 1 win routing early in his career.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Villain\u2019s Ghost is the ML favorite at 5\/1 and that\u2019s based off his pedigree with his brilliant Maiden score LTO.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Villain\u2019s Ghost drew off nicely in his maiden debut scoring a 77 SP# at 6.5 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was flawless that day, and is going to need more of the same in his stakes debut.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The owner is willing to take a chance with him, so keep an eye on him in the paddock.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

A.P. Indy is the sire of Villain\u2019s Ghost, and is as a fantastic sire in the SIM, as he is\u00a0 <\/SPAN>IRL.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>IRL A.P. Indy is maybe the most influential sire of classic distance horses we have today, however his offspring tend to be late-bloomers who compete as the 3yo season wears on, and into their 4-5 years.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Villain\u2019s Ghost looks to have a bright future, whether it\u2019s this weekend is debatable?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I do look for good things down the line from this guy, and it wouldn\u2019t shock me to see him have a place in the starter\u2019s gate in the 2006 Bluegrass Derby.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PP5<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Housedog<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner:epic<\/P>

Breeding: Housebuster x Exceller x Lucky Mel<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 15\/1<\/P>

Jockey: A Darling 20%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Housedog is a pure scratch bred out of Housebuster, with Exceller\/Lucky Mel making up the back-end.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Housebuster was a champion sprinter winning 15 out of 22 races. He does throw his fair share of stakes winners in the SIM.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Housebuster passed away this past\u00a0 <\/SPAN>May.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Housedog is one of the 3 epic entries in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Housedog broke his maiden in fine fashion fto scoring a 72 SP# at 4.5 furlongs. In his last two starts Housedog has finished 2nd<\/SUP> both times, however his 2nd<\/SUP> lto at 8 furlongs was a sharp run to Pro Dubai, a top 2yo Filly.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Epic is maybe one of the best young horse SIM players in the game today, his stock always come ready to run, and he knows what it take to get it done.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not sure if this is his best shot in the race, but the experience routing could be a factor with this one.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

PP6<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Haunted Hurricane (IRE)<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner:freeky<\/P>

Breeding: Montjeu x Seeking the Gold x Bold Forbes<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 18\/1<\/P>

Jockey: D Ellard 14%<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Haunted Hurricane is sired by the world class sire Montjeu, out of the retired 11 yr. old mare Granny Haunted.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Granny Haunted has produced 4 offspring, getting one stakes winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Granny Haunted won 4 times from 20 starts, all coming on the dirt\/routing.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Haunted Hurricane got his start on the turf and failed miserably.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Then the owner promptly switched him to the dirt with that dismal FTO effort.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Haunted Hurricane has really blossomed since being switched to the main track sprinting.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be his 1st<\/SUP> effort routing, and has the pedigree to do some damage.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Montjeu, the sire of Haunted Hurricane, was a brilliant horse on the racetrack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Montjeu won 11 out of 16 starts, with his biggest wins coming as a 3yo in the Irish Deby and the \u201cARC\u201d.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Montjeu sons and daughters haven\u2019t faired so well in the SIM, but they have fit nicely with sons of Mr. Prospctor.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Have the makings of a fantastic sire in the SIM, with an expected upgrade next season.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Haunted Hurricane this weekend, looks to be on the pace, and should benefit from the stretch-out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Wouldn\u2019t be shocked at all to see this guy around at the end of race holding off others.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Class rise is the only concern, with only a maiden win to his name, but looks the part.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Love You Most is out of the sire Ten Most Wanted, out of the retired 5yr. old retired mare Fappiano\u2019s Lover.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fappiano\u2019s Lover collected 5 wins from 32 starts all on the main track sprinting.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is the first foal for Fappiano\u2019s Lover.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Love You Most has looked brilliant on the race track to date.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He broke his maiden in his 1st<\/SUP> start at the short sprint distance of 5 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his subsequent starts he\u2019s hit the board each time, including his latest 3rd<\/SUP> place finish in the Grade III Montana Futurity.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lot<\/st1:place>\u2019s to like about this young guy.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Ten Most Wanted is the sire of Love You Most.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ten Most Wanted\u00a0 <\/SPAN>won 5 from 13 starts, including his accomplished victory in the Grade I Traver\u2019s Stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ten Most Wanted, other accomplishments include a runner-up finish in the Belmont Stakes at 12 furlongs and the Grade II Swaps.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Love You Most has flashed some brilliant speed from the gate in his early career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>You have to wonder if the O\/T will try to rate him this weekend or just let him fly out there on the lead once again, will playing \u201ccatch me if you can!\u201d\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Will have to prove that he can carry his speed against some classy horses.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Third Time Lucky(NZ) is sired by the \u201cBig O\u201d Octagonal, out of the retired SIM horse Scary Puss.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Scary Puss, won 5 out of 43 starts collecting earnings of nearly $73k.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Scary Puss did have 3 wins to his credit routing on the main track.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Third Time Lucky(NZ) hasn\u2019t done anything wrong to date in his 1st<\/SUP> two starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He rolled to a \u00bd length victory in his maiden debut.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He followed that first start up with a brilliant allowance score recording an 84 SP# at 6.5 furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has the makings of a very nice, and I mean very nice horse.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Octagonal affectionately known as the \u201cBig O\u201d is the sire of Third Time Lucky.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Octagonal is the pride of New Zealand<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region> capturing 14 of 28 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Octagonal captured the\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Group I AJC Australian Derby, the Group I Cox Plate, as well as numerous other prestigious Group I events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The \u201cBig O\u201d has been a great sire IRL, as well as throwing some very nice runners in the SIM.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Third Time Lucky has looked impressive in each of his first two starts, and has all the makings of being a factor come Saturday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>One again, another horse stepping up the class ladder, but I expect good things from him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should stalk the pace nicely, and look to pounce at the top of the stretch, should be a factor.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Majtaraj is sire by the legendary Australian sire, Lonhro.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The dam of Majtaraj is Majestic Saint who has one other foal to date, that\u2019s a stakes winner St Denure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Majestic Saint won no races from the customary 6 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>For what she lacked on the race track, Majestic Saint has been brilliant in the breeding shed.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Majtaraj looked dismal in her 1st<\/SUP> start on the turf, which you would have thought she would have like, recording a 9th<\/SUP> place finish with a 44 SP#.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The O\/T did what all smart SIM players do, switch surfaces, and boy did this guy not disappoint recording an 82 SP#.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That was a heck of run, and I look for a bright future from this guy on the dirt.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The legendary sire Lonhro has two crops to date in the SIM, and he\u2019s been fair to midland so far.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Lonhro is the type of horse that has drawn numerous debates on the SIM message board about his greatness.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To me as an American, what more could you ask for?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>26 wins from 34 starts sounds pretty damn good to meJ<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Majtaraj, is going to need to step up big time this weekend, but it\u2019s not out of the question.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I mean, heck this horse improved 38 speed points in his 2nd<\/SUP> start, so what\u2019s to not like?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Mano, how did you come up with this name, I had a heck of a time, spelling it correctly each time I used itJ<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Odds: 12\/1<\/P>

Jockey: W Case 12%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/B>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Fortynine Reasons is sired by Brocco out of the G rated 10 yr. old mare, Closest Bobbie. Closet Bobbie has two foals to date.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Closet Bobbie is owned by the cpu, and had one win from 3 starts, that being a route on the dirt.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Fortynine Reasons has started his career in wonderful fashion, picking up 2 wins from 3 starts, including a blowout win at 7.5 furlongs lto.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his latest effort he recorded a beautiful 81 SP# while not even being whipped by the jockey in the stretch.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Brocco the sire of Fortynine Reason had a fairly successful, but short career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As a 2yo, he captured the Breeder\u2019s Cup Juvenile and ran 2nd<\/SUP> in the Hollywood Futurity.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As a 3yo, he captured the Santa Anita Derby. \u00a0<\/SPAN>As for the SIM, Brocco has been hit or miss, although he hasn\u2019t been used much as a sire, so the jury is still out on him.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to try a combo with him at some point if your looking for value.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The chances of Fortynine Reasons will hinge on his ability to take his game up a notch this weekend.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s certainly bred to like the distance, and looks to be an improving sort from his efforts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Wouldn\u2019t totally dismiss his chances if you\u2019re willing to overlook his SP #\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would take a flyer on him if you think he\u2019s got game, and I think he does.<\/P>

Assistant is sired by Phone Trick out of the \u201cG\u201d rated retired mare Firey Turf.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Firey Turf has 4 foals to date, with one stakes winner, Assistant.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s also foaled a nice stakes placed filly in Best of Niner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Firey Turf on the racetrack had moderate success in 7 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She won 2 races, with those being long routes<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Assistant started her career in the Lilies for Fillies at 4.5 furlongs on the dirt, and scored in impressive fashion.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then followed up that maiden score with a nice closing 3rd<\/SUP> in the Camden<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>\u2019s Honour Stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then looked really fantastic in her last start, with a very nice victory in the Chello Stakes at 6.5 furlongs.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Phone Trick is the sire of the beautiful filly Assistant.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Phone Trick was very successful on the racetrack, winning 9 races from 10 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s been a very good sire of speed horses, and precocious 2yr. olds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His best offspring to date are typically sprinters, but he can get the occasional miler.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Assistant is the only filly in the field this week, and that says something about her ability.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s been very good to date, and has kept classy company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would have liked to seen her run in the 7 furlong Grade I for 2yr. old fillies, but the famous Johnno has chosen this spot for her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would imagine she\u2019s going to find the males tough, but if not, she will be a factor.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I really like her chances to be a good miler.<\/P>

Kingmambo is the sire of Rhibus out of the retired SIM horse, Pleasant Nijinsky.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Pleasant Nijinsky was one of the great SIM horses of yesteryear.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>On the racetrack Pleasant Nijinsky won 8 of 65 races, which included 2 Grade I\u2019s and a Grade II.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His biggest victory was likely the 2001 Traveller\u2019s, Grade I.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He also won the 2002 Sand Castle Derby, Grade I in Dubai<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Rhibus has been a beast so far on the racetrack.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He won his maiden debut in grand style drawing off by a length and half.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He followed that up with a rousing victory in the 7th<\/SUP> Annual ARSE Domination nw1x.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After those first two starts, it was time to try Rhibus in graded company, and he didn\u2019t disappoint with a very nice win in the Abstract Juvenile Grade III.<\/P>

Kingmambo, the sire of Rhibus is a great sire IRL, as well as the SIM.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Kingmambo won 5 of 13 starts with earnings of over $700k.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Kingmambo has been an incredible sire in the SIM, throwing just about any type of runner, dirt, turf, long, short, you name it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His real life offspring haven\u2019t been too shabby either, with an above average amount of graded winners.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Rhibus is the one to beat this weekend; he\u2019s mature beyond his years at this point.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The field he beat in the Abstract Juvenile Grade II has already proven to be a quality field, with most of field coming back in their next starts and recording great SP #\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I look for a very bright future from this guy, wouldn\u2019t shock me to see him win the 2005 BB Juvenile or the 2006 Bluegrass Derby.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Asheron\u2019s Call<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner: capsized<\/P>

Breeding: Maria\u2019s Mon x King\u2019s Bishop x Majestic Prince<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 8\/1<\/P>

Jockey: W Mayberry<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place> 11%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Asheron\u2019s Call is a pure scratch bred out of Maria\u2019s Mon, with King\u2019s Bishop\/Majestic Prince making up the back-end.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Maria\u2019s Mon won 4 out of 7 starts with earnings slightly over $500k. He sired the 2001 Kentucky Derby winner Monarchos.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Monarchos recored the 2nd<\/SUP> fastest time in Kentucky Derby history.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Asheron\u2019s Call started his career with a win in a 5 furlong MSW.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He then competed in his next start in the British Columbia<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> 2538 Stakes at a flat mile.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In that race he ran an admirable 4th<\/SUP> to a very nice filly Pro Dubai.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In that race he recorded a 78 SP#.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

This is Epic\u2019s 3rd<\/SUP> entry in this race, and looks to have a chance if he can he can improve off his last start at a mile.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Epic sent his \u201cA-string\u201d to the Grade III in Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, possibly conceding this race to Rhibus?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I doubt he\u2019s conceding anything, so his 3 horses will all be firing at some point in the race.\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Indycisive<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Owner:tisjuliet<\/P>

Breeding: A.P. Indy x Forty Niner x Graustark<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

Odds: 9\/1<\/P>

Jockey: V Roberts 8%<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

A.P. Indy is the sire of Indycisive out of the retired mare Nine Race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Nine Rae won 15 out of 56 races with earning of over $1 million.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Nine Rae won two Grade II races, with her biggest victories being the D-Day Distaff, Grade II, and the Grade II Mike\u2019s Hometown Cap.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also finished 2nd<\/SUP> in the Grade I 2000 Equinics for older f\/m.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Indycisive won his 2nd<\/SUP> start at 6 furlongs recording a nice 74 SP#.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his last two starts both in stakes company sprinting, Indycisive has finished 2nd<\/SUP> both times to some nice horses.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

The sire of Indycisive is A.P. Indy, and is as a fantastic sire in the SIM, as he is\u00a0 <\/SPAN>IRL.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>IRL A.P. Indy is maybe the most influential sire of classic distance horses we have today, however his offspring tend to be late-bloomers who compete as the 3yo season wears on, and into their 4-5 years.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Indycisive looks like the type of classy horse that just needs distance and maturity to really get going.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I expect big things from this guy down the road, if not this weekend.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the hands of a very good SIM player, and can\u2019t be discounted.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should be a player on the Triple Crown preps next year.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Good luck and Good Racing!<\/P>
