I am gonna stick my neck on the line here and make a prediction.

I am just looking at Book 3 to start with and am about 1/3 of the way through it, its poor to be kind.
There are only about 5 horses (on pedigree alone) I would like.

I predict a bloodbath this year if the other books are similar.

I am aware of the urgency to get to Quiet American. Will be applying for a season within the month. The cross is proven. Capt. Candyman Can and Sidney's Candy are both Fappiano/Storm Cat so I'm reasonably sure our mare will be accepted.

Our Candy Ride filly's stock just went up with the Sidney's Candy's outstanding performance at Del Mar yesterday. Hopefully our filly will sell well and this will help pay for training and then stud fee for QA.

Good luck jagger - I am a big fan of both Stormy Atlantic and Candy Ride. I'll definately have a peek at your kids when I there Smile

Thanks, Mood Swings. I keep watching Sidney's MONSTER race where he set the course record with the jockey easing him up in the last half furlong. Twirling Candy, another of Jenny Craig's horses, also had a big race on the green stuff last month as well. He beat the same horse that Sid pulled away from at the 3/4 pole.

Where in Ontario? Born in Toronto myself but have not been in Canada since 1969. Want to hook up in Lexington during the sale?

TC's only run three times. He is a BIG horse and very green. He looked super working out on Saturday and finished really, really strong.

Here is SC in the paddock

And here's TC working out. Digital elph cameras are not very good at taking pictures of animals running fast. I had no room to take my Nikon 35MM with the lenses.

jagger - I am north of the big TO in Newmarket. It would be great to meet a fellow PQer, I'll be there from the 12th to possibly th 21st. Plenty of time to try and meet up Smile

Tappiano - SC looks fantastic! Is he a liver chestnut? We have a stunning colt by CR at the farm. Although admittedly I have yet to see a CR foal that I don't like.

I'm not sure what "shade" he'd be considered but isn't there a lot of chrome and flash on CR's dam side that could explain the shade of red? He's not the only one who is not red, red if you know what I mean.

wow--hip 4466-- inbred 2 X 3 to Two Punch.
That's something I've never seen. Anyone else?
Good or terrible idea? Pretty close anyway.
What the hell. Unless it has three heads, I'll "buy" it for my fantasy stable.
LOVE Two Punch.

There was lots of activity on the grounds today. I don't think I've ever seen Keeneland so crowded on a day when the sale wasn't yet in progress. Here's hoping lots of people came to buy. Smile
