I have a Johannesburg weanling that is a little on the small side but made well and is out of a very nice stakes-winning El Prado mare...I'm counting on Johannessburg firing big as a sire in his first couple of crops so that he'll help me sell my colt....we'll see, but I will enjoy betting his 2-year-olds this year.
I also think Yonaguska and Jump Start are two cheaper stallions that I feel will have a very solid first crop...watch out.

Assmusen has a Yonguska in the tx ft next week at LS. I think he or his dad are owner too. I agree that Ronnie is great with babies. One that he did well with a few years ago was Touch Tone and he is throwing babies that are running this year.
