Just a quick heads up. A bundle of 3yo's from my friends 2yo list last year hold entries in the next few days so I thought I would post them up in case people want to back them or add them to their alerts. My friends 2yo list for this season is currently operating at a 50% win/place rate so its well worth having a look at.
BAYAN - 210,000 gns colt out of Danehill Dancer, half brother to Catch me a dream, dam a winner over 1m 1f at 2 and rest of the family good middle distance performers. The horse had one run last season finishing 6th having missed the break. He was well supported that day and the step up in trip has to be regarded as a major positive.
IBTAHAJ - 200,000gns fily out of Invincible Spirit, half sister to plenty of high class winners and dam was also very handy (12f G3 winner). The horse ran recently and was well supported but found very little off the bridle. It is likely that she needed the run and a slight step up in trip should show her in a better light. As a result of that last run she should also be quite a nice price when she makes a reappearance (numerous entries).
PINK DAMSEL - This 600,000 gns purchase was given a five star bloodstock rating by my friend last year but never made it on to a race track as a 2yo. This horse should have all the makings of a very nice middle distance performer and I have heard some very positive comments about her in the last few weeks. She holds and entry at Newmarket on the 18th as well as Newbury on the 19th and has also been entered for the Oaks.
POLY POMONA - This expensive Green Desert progeny was also held in high regard by my bloodstock expert but was another horse who failed to make an appearance as a 2yo. She is a horse who's optimum trip should be about a mile and hailing from the Hannon camp she should be one to watch this season. She currently holds an entry in a maiden at Windsor on the 21st as well as an entry the Tattersalls Millions.
SEVENTH SIGN - This horse like PD was one of only 3 horses to be award a 5 star rating last season. He is a pivotal colt out of a Arazi mare and is related to numerous high profile winners including Breeders cup winner LAHUDOOD. Out of all the unraced 3yo on last years list this is probably the horse I am most excited about. He is currently entered in a maiden at Thirsk on the 19th over 1m 4f and I fully expect this horse to make a winning debut.
WIDYAAN - This horse raced once as a 2yo and subsequently saw his value increase by over £200,000. He appeared recently in a class 5 maiden over 10f where he finished 2nd behind Gabriel The Great. He has been gelded since last season so obviously connections have lowered their sights slightly but I still believe this horse will win a maiden and is entered at Newbury on the 19th.
WAS - For me this horse could prove to be one of the best horses of its generation and that is reflected in its purchase price which was a whopping 1,200,000 gns. The horse had one race last season and won with ease at a price of 9/2 which earned me a small fortune. Today she makes a return at Naas and will probably go off at around 6/4-Evens. She has been the subject of plenty of positive reports from her trainer and despite having a set back I would be amazed if this horse didn't win a high profile race at some point this season. Today may be the best day to catch her as far as a decent price is concerned.
