Wildcat Frankie

He's a 2yo Wildcat Heir debuter who won his debut by 15.5 lengths going 5.5fs in a MSW at Calder on Saturday.

Came back with a 95 BSF.

Hattachet trains ... probably will wind up going to someone like Dutrow.

He had a good debut pedigree anyway. His sire won his debut with a 94 Beyer going 5fs at MTH. His dam won her debut as a 2yo by 4 lengths at 30/1 odds. Never amounted to much afterwards.

The Wildcat Heir horses are winning at a seemingly unprecedented clip. They are making every trainer who has one a winner. Imagine what this years will sell for. Almost all of last years were a gift

He was a nice sprinter ... but kind of a cripple.

I remember that I bet Wildcat Heir in the Breeders Cup Sprint that Lost In The Fog tanked in.

Wildcat Heir was vanned off - and that was it for his racing career.

Aren't those the two necessary ingredients for most young stallion prospects nowadays?

it will be interesting to see if these can run past there 2 yo seasons. But you might not need them to if you run them once then sell them to the usual suspects.

I did too. I remember waffling big-time on whether or not he would be ready because of all the gaps coming in, but ended-up using him as the key horse in that race. Oops.

Yep. I hated most everything in that field ... at least Wildcat Heir had a few real strong races here and there. Too bad we got the crippled version of him that day.

Silver Train won that race...i'm sure you remember.

Silver Train was another sprinter who made his debut at Calder as a 2yo ... only difference is that he wasn't much of an exciting prospect at Calder. George Mikhalides trained him down there ... and he kind of sucked.

Dutrow Jr. took care of that sucking problem in a big way.
