It's one turn this year. He will likely be a major player in Florida this spring.

Ramsey also has a good one in Brother Keith.

Not going long he won't.

Keep him short and you have a serious horse.

The guy knows how to pick a Trainer, whether it was Pletcher, Romans, Frankel or more recently Maker, his horses seem to run with firecrackers up their arses.

You may be right, but with the FOY being a one-turn mile now, no reason he can't run big in that spot.

And if he doesn't, then they can run in the Swale.

When was the last time a 3-year-old ran a 115 BSF in January?

When was the last time a 3YO ran a 110+ BSF early in his 3YO campaign and was a meaningful factor when the Derby rolled around?

How often does a 3yo run a 110+ BSF early in their 3yo campaign? In January the only one I can find the past five years was Da Stoops in '06. And in February just Keyed Entry in '06. Not positive there were none in '04 and '07 but definitely none in '05 and I'm pretty sure there were none in '08.

It wouldn't surprise me if it's never happened.

Good point... I had forgotten that.

However, a mile still might be a stretch and I'll be betting against him in that spot.

Smarty Jones ran a 110 in the Count Fleet...





but they didn't give it to him. They adjusted the number down to a 97.

So what did the mdn winner get a few races later, 102?

I know the later stake went in slow time as the race completely fell apart.

His highest beyer was a 114 at BM on Oct.1 of his 3yo season. The race before the BC Sprint.
