2021 2 year olds Handicapping

I have been watching him work for a while, including a couple in company where he put away his workmates. I was excited to see him run, but was cautiously optimistic. He did not disappoint! Showed some serious speed in his second quarter, which made me a bit concerned, but not to worry.
He is a well built colt, reminding me a bit of Verrazano. Glad to see them start him on the dirt, which shows that Pletcher has plans for the Derby trail. Most trainers just go straight to the turf with the MTRs.
There are a few nice looking MTRs working towards their late season debuts. Bourbon Ready should be hitting the track soon. He is a 300K 2 year old sale, who's starting to get serious with some gate works. He is out of a Kantharos mare. {9-b} DP = 4-0-6-0-0 (10) DI = 2.33 CD = 0.80

Great heads up. FIRSTER no less.
It would be wonderful to have your mom's namesake charging down the stretch; plus throughout in the Kentucky Derby.
Come on Mom!

I have none of the 2 yr old turfers on this list at this time.
That can change if they try the dirt and show promise to be competitive
tail female families are listed first.

Good holidays + New Year to all
As you know, Rae turned us on to sire years ago and MTR became a significant factor.
Connections are Derby certified.
The colt was galloped out after the mile and at ease.
This one garners much attention.

Her Numbers are Competitive with the Boys and if She Qualifies for the Oaks early

Nice Gun Runner (BMS Pulpit) 2 year old filly won the Trapeze Stakes (1 mile) at Remington tonight.......looks to be strong in body. Beat everyone by a lot. I liked her.

Springboard Mile no idea who will win but Bye Bye Bobby is a real looker. Gorgeous Quality Road colt, $870K pricetag -- comes from behind. Safies horse Make It Big is a real looker.
I like Classic Moment too
Edit: Make It Big won. He's really amazing looking. Stalker. Worth looking at if you can find a photo...legs go on forever. I noticed that in the Post Parade he was walking and 1 step looked like 3 steps. (mistakenly thought it was bye bye bobby but it wasn't......it was him)
Sire Neolithic was 3rd in the Pegasus World Cup, Dubai World Cup and Woodward --- and 2nd in the Fayette at 1-1/8 so he's good for 9F most likely
Make It Big is 3 for 3 in a row now.
