On June 17, Dale Romans sent out Bright One, a son of the regally-bred Dance Brightly, to a 9 1/2-length romp in a maiden special weight race at Churchill Downs, in which he covered the mile in 1:33 4/5 in only his second career start.

Romans said he does not want to rush the colt, who got a late start due to a few minor issues. "We're just going to play it by ear," he said. "We want to give him enough time between races and not throw him back too quickly. This is as good a prospect as I've had since Roses in May. My Sheets guy told me he got a "1 3/4" on the Ragozin Sheets, which is as good as he's seen in a maiden race. There's an overnight handicap at the end of the Churchill meet he could run in. I believe by the end of the year he could be one of the best around. He's a big, strong, good-looking horse and we should have a lot of fun with him the rest of the year."
