The forever wait... :P

Post by Stormy Peak »

Why do 2 year old milers and routers have ... to....wait....soooo .... long...before they get to run. :P lol

I have a 2 year old Freak Progressive turf miler that I am so excited about...want to see him on the track : )

Daydream Believer

He's out of a formidable type, Distant Dream mare - by the sire, Hempstead
Pretty cool that he managed to sire a freak off of formidable type mare and they had a B+ hypo.
At the time I sent my mare to him, he didn't have much for stats, being a younger stallion -- but now his percent of Stakes Winners is almost at 16% !
I often shy away from young unproven stallions, but I have no regrets sending my mare to him. 8-)

I gave Daydream Believer a work today:

4 furlong turf -- Time: 0:45:79

I checked to see where he was at on the Workouts for that distance and with the perimeters:
Year 60 - Top Horse - Male - 2 year old - Turf Milers

He's in the #1 spot by a decent margin, the horse in the 2nd spot is Allure of the Seas, at 0:45:96

I then changed the 'Year 60' to 'All Time' and Daydream Believer was at #10 on that list.

It's been a while since I've had a nice turf miler...and that was Dark Shadows who in the last race of his career, won
the SC Turf Mile for me.

So I'm really excited about this colt. I want to race him like next week...lol

That’s what barrier trials are for, but then it seems only a very few people are using them.

I often use them for training purposes for my older horses when they need a confidence boost. However, they are not real races.
They have no points, no purses, and they cost GPs, which I usually don't have a lot of anyways :p
