Michael D., Thank You for an excellent summary of your fav. 2yo colts.One thing I will say about Horse Greeley and him coming home in 13 and 2 in the Futurity, HG was pretty soundly bumped at the start breaking 6th of 7 and to my eye probably spotted the field 3 lenghts. When 2YO speed horses have gate problems,spot the field several lenghts, remain relaxed, get themselves back into the race,then run their race, hold on gamely at the end and win by nearly 2 lenghts in Grade 2 company,I take notice.His closing fractions are not so troubling given these circumstances.
If this horse breaks cleanly, wins by 5 in 22 and 2 for 7F, I gotta think he's a co-favorite in the Juvenile. But he did not. Always looking for value.
