With the 2006 racing season entering its last quarter, the\u00a02 year olds begin the\u00a0second half of their first racing year.\u00a0\u00a0 Last year I bred my\u00a02 year olds with horses which I saw racing\u00a0such as SHAHRASTANI, KAHYASI, COMMANDER IN CHIEF, ZALAZL, LAW SOCIETY, etc.\u00a0 The result was not overwhelming — none of these horses could win a race as a 2 year old.\u00a0 A few of them matured this year into 3 year olds with some ability, but they did not win more than\u00a0ALW races.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
So this year I decided to breed my 2 year olds after original matings of horses which are now 2 years old <\/EM>and have started in Great Britain and Ireland<\/EM>.\u00a0 I was very surprised to see that much of these matings would be bargain bred horses in the Sim!<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
To this day I have bred 128 2yos from 68 individual sires.\u00a0\u00a0Nine of these horses make their first start\u00a0this weekend.\u00a0\u00a0 The remaining 119 horses have brought 12 winners and 14 wins.\u00a0\u00a0 Two of these winners\u00a0have won two races and two winners were stakes placed.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Only 10 of these 128 horses cost more than 100 BP.\u00a0\u00a0 The most expensive horse cost 165 BP.\u00a0\u00a0 The rest of them cost between 25 and 90 BP, including all horses which were bred without returning a horse.\u00a0\u00a0 The average number of starts per horse is\u00a0four and I am interested in seeing how many individual winners I will have\u00a0at the end of the season.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
For me I can say that the experiment was to date a good one.\u00a0\u00a0 Last but not least I can say that of all of my 2 years olds, I have one that I hold\u00a0in great regard.\u00a0 This colt is <\/FONT>FILIBUSTIER<\/FONT><\/STRONG><\/A> (Foxhound x Midyan x Star Appeal).\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Filibustier\u00a0has started 6 times.\u00a0 The first two starts were on turf and, even though he displayed some ability, he showed me that this was not his game.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>

The colt’s next two starts were over 5 furlongs and 6 furlongs on the dirt, respectively.\u00a0\u00a0Coming from last place, he finished third twice, but could not reach the leaders.\u00a0 In his fifth start, he finally broke his maiden tag over 7 furlongs on the\u00a0dirt with a very good SP of 83<\/STRONG>.\u00a0\u00a0 Again, he\u00a0came from last place, laying five lengths behind the leader at the third call.\u00a0\u00a0 This time though he won\u00a0easily by 2 1\/2 lengths.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Filibustier’s\u00a0last start was an ALW over 7 furlongs\u00a0which he\u00a0won in the same style, laying on the start of the turn in last place\u00a0to win easily at the end with 1 3\/4 lengths and a SP of 87<\/STRONG>.\u00a0\u00a0 My plan for him is a start around Week 3000 in a Stakes or Graded Stakes over 7 to 8 furlongs.\u00a0\u00a0 I would like to see how he’ll\u00a0compete against stakes-hardened runners.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
With his style of running, Filibustier could with improvement maybe stay 9 to 10 furlongs and fight for classic glory.\u00a0\u00a0Hope dies last.\u00a0\u00a0 I would like to hear if anyone in the Sim has made an equal experiment.\u00a0\u00a0 Much luck for all our 2yo babies!<\/FONT><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
