Straight Fire - one to watch

Postby Cree » Sat Aug 06, 2016 7:49 pm

By Dominus, and owned by Shared Belief's owners (in partnership), this guy looks like he could be something. Broke his maiden in his 2nd start by 10 1/2 lengths handily.
He was 2nd in his first start to the quick Chasing Aces (who broke the track record for the distance). These two may meet again in the Del Mar Futurity.

2nd in the Del Mar Futurity. He is definitely a powerful looking horse.
He is bred to be a two turn horse, so he should only get better. I
am rooting for Dominus to succeed at stud, so this was a great result. 8)

He is definitely my favourite colt from this crop and I also would love to see Dominus do well. Dominus had his 1st stakes winner this weekend in All Right at Kentucky Downs.

Yes, so far Dominus is off to a very promising start. Not bad for
a Smart Strike son who stands for only $3500. He comes from
an excellent female family, as well. Hope he gets some really
great mares next year. 8)
