Apparently - my freak pair were both half of an Asian Daily Double:

This pair was named after one of my favorite books, Swordheart, and I'm thrilled that they both won their debuts on the same day. They're not actually twins but I think of them as a matched set; both went to Freak after the week 8 change, they've got the same sire and both of their dam sires are from Erin Sanderson's fancy Sway bloodline family, so eh, close enough for my brain.

Swordheart The book's namesake, she's a full sister to my bridesmaid horse Lightsong. I was hoping she'd run well after going to Freak and I couldn't be more thrilled that she pulled out a 99 speed figure.

Sarkis Named after the male lead in Swordheart, he debuted slower with a 94 but I definitely won't turn my nose up at that. He definitely wants to go longer with his pedigree and I'm crossing my fingers that he can pull off a miracle and give me a runner in the Derby for a third straight year

I didn't see remarkable speed figures, but all maiden runners on 10.5 ran well; either won or showed, so I'm happy.
Tau (stakes) ran the fastest speed figure (93), trying to close on Jon Xett's No Regrets Coyote, missing with a head.

Jon Xett is actually involved in Tau as well, as Jon kindly let me lease his mare Better Together back in Y58, resulting in Tau's mother Llorien.

Well I had this surprise debut last night! She was a late bloomer stakes but her female line has given me a handful of late bloomer freaks.

Update: She is still a late bloomer stakes

Talent check after her second start. The jump occurs at post time of their 2nd start so we can’t see the improvement until after 2nd start.

Cruel Summer impressed in her first start!

My 2nd freak Kryptonite 2yr old also won. Golden Arrow won her MSW and I was just happy to get a win first out.

Needless to say I'm a big Kryptonite fan!

She isn't in my barn right now so can't check but I could swear Sea Ghost's improvement was visible in her gallop immediately after first race 🤔 I'll see if perhaps Nini can confirm or deny
