Without even taking pedigree into account, I'd opt to put the one that looks like they'd be ready to run sooner into the sale. What are they like physically?

I agree with Tappiano... Look at the confirmation and disposition to determine which one would be the better risk.

Okay, because I'm nosey and I've been away quite a bit, but I was wondering where Tammy was at? I miss seeing her responses on the new foals.
