2021 2 year olds Handicapping
From: smartyslew
Dec-25
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.

I just watched Emmanuel work with Dean's List. He is an imposing figure, that works effortlessly. Really anxious to see him step up in class.

He worked well actually. It’s just that he had a physically imposing figure working next to him. He is a nice horse in his own right.

Brad Cox had a nice colt win impressively on a muddy track the other day. In Dreams, by Frosted, out of an MTR mare, blazed to an open length win at Oaklawn on 12/17.

I like Cooke Creek in the Jerome, 8/5 is generous vs. this weak field, though the slop may figure in....
I am really looking forward to see how Newgrange runs in the Sham....also interested in Mackinnon. Should be a competitive race, 4 of the 5 can win it.
I like Ben Diesel in the Smarty Jones....though I don't see any horse from this field impacting the TC races....same with the Jerome.
But the Sham has had the KD winner the last two years, so I think we should watch that one closely.
