Festivus countdown game

It's Friday on the eve of Festivus, let's play a game. Here are six foals which I bred this year. All of them are thoroughbreds, chosen by aimlessly clicking in my foal list (foals from lease mares were removed and the clicking continued until I only had foals from my own mares). The links are titled after each foal's dam in order to make it easier to keep track of them; just use the dam's name when referring to the corresponding foal. Your task, should you choose to attempt it, is to guess what each foal will gallop. Each one has a small clue which gives a little more information on the abilities/comments of the dams which only I can see. It's not a lot, but it's not nothing!

Whoever correctly guesses the most correct gallops in this group will be sent 5k GP. If multiple people have the same highest number of winning guesses, I'll RNG the winner among them. Contest closes when gallops open. May the slide be ever in your favor. Very curious to see if this blesses or curses my gallops ;)

1. Super For A Second. Filly by Deal Breaker. Mare was of a common type for her sire.
2. Fedin. Filly by Tithanos. So far, the mare's best foal and worst foal are at the same level.
3. Crazy Thunder. Colt by Mahler. The mare has the same comment as her own dam.
4. Hear Me Louder. Twin filly (the one with the T in the ID) by Kingdom Come. The mare would have run more, but is afraid of everything.
5. Blinded By Diamond. Colt by King of Ashes. The mare has mastered the art of mediocrity.
6. Court of Justice. Colt by Satono Moon. The Steward called one of this mare's races, and when she got to it (starting at roughly 9 minutes, to be kind), gave her opinion on the field's present and future quality in the preview.

I'm guessing all the right gallops, but not necessarily in the right order.

Festivus was a bit rough...

1. Claimer - David, Stormy
2. Productive - John, Nathan
3. Claimer - no one
4. Solid - Jack
5. Productive - Nathan, Jack
6. Solid - David

David, Nathan, and Jack had two correct guesses each. Using random.org, David wins the roll.

Hope y'all got some fun foals!
