Wajima ... a world-record priced yearling ... became champion 3YO colt.

Majestic Prince ... another world-record priced yearling ... became an undefeated Derby/Preakness winner.

this horse was mighty impressive at two, a second in the BCJ beating first smurai and falling just short at the wire to a charging stevebrokenhorse, a charge that may have cost him his remaining racing lifetime. he took a lot of time off after chasing 1sam round every oval in america last summer. he is well rested, and should do ghoos up to 9f. his dosage wqas way short, as i recall, for him to stretch out to 10f, but we will see. he should menace in the fall races at saratoga and belmont, but i feel will be a little short at the classic distance.
