Of course they do.

Long Lashes will be aimed at the UAE Guineas and UAE Oaks.

They actually looked surprisingly precocious. Don't get me wrong, they didn't look like 4 1/2 furlong horses but they were extremely coordinated and athletic. I bet they will do really well in the 2nd half of the year.

Rock Hard Ten had a very impressive 2 year old winner today at Woodbine in the 8th race. The horse's name is Bear's Hard Ten.

I knew that they bought him at the OBS Aril Sale for $85k. I didn't know his history before that. Which other sales did he sell at?

1k was the January 2008 Keeneland sale for horses of all ages.

15k was the August 2008 Fasig Tipton Texas yearling sale.

47k was the October 2008 Fasig Tipton Kentucky Fall yearling sale.

85k was the April 2009 OBS Spring 2yo sale.

Things are finally starting to pick up for RHT. He had another nice winner today in the 5th at Belmont. The horse's name is Krypton. He was a $170k RNA from the OBS March Sale.

Things had to start picking up for him sooner or later. His 2 year olds looked great at the sales.

I think it's his first turf winner in this country. In Europe, he had a stakes winner on the grass named Long Lashes.

I read on www.twitter.com/derbycontenders that RHT hits with 25% of his turf runners. I don't know how many have raced on the grass or if that is referring to them all over the world, but that makes me think this wasn't the first here.

It's definitely his first winner on the grass in the US. He has 3 winners in the US so far. They are Octogarian, Bear's Hard Ten, and Krypton.

The horse today (Krypton) has a lot of grass breeding on his bottom side. His dam (Freedom Reigns) was unraced but her dam (Mais Oui) was a grass horse in France and she has produced mainly grass runners.
