Checking my list -- the fastest 6f Beyers by a 2yo at Saratoga since 2000 belong to Discreet Cat (106) and Henny Hughes (105) ... off the top of my head I can't think of a 2yo filly running 6f faster than 101... but I'll look tomorrow morning when I have time.

Stopshopping Maria was an OBS March horse (worked the same day as JC's Pride when the times all came back much slower -- JC's Pride scratched out of that sale and went to FT Tim where he got the bullet)

Didn't Hot Dixie Chick get a 102 in the Schuylerville?

103 in fact.

Took the Spinaway next out - and went to the sidelines. Only managed 3-starts beyond age 2. I had already forgot about her.

Her debut win was at 5.5 furlongs.

You -- 107 Beyer going 6.5f -- is the fastest winning 2-year-old filly at Saratoga since atleast 2000.

She got a 97 first time out at the Spa.

Olympic Charmer (107 Beyer sprinting at Santa Anita) earned the highest figure of any 2-year-old - from either sex - in the year 1998 by two full points.

She is the dam of the Ron McAnally trained first-time starter who was 2nd at 34/1 odds in a 2yo MSW race at Del Mar yesterday.

The immortal Cho won that race

The John Sadler half-sister to Dream Rush in that race was supposed to be all the rage. She didn't hit the board. But it's Polytrack so who knows how "real" any of the maiden races at Del Mar are. The winner was by Silent Name and the runner-up was by Dansili.

Drill was supposed to be a killer first time out, too, but he tanked, then came right back and won (be a desperate nose) at least.

I didn't like that Sadler horse at all for a win-early bet.

She went only 10.40 for an 1/8th and was blinkered on a day when the track was much faster of the two sessions down there.

3 different horses went 9.80 that day -- including one sired by Bob and John (go figure)

I liked a Lawyer Ron that went 10 flat unblinkered that day -- they named Stealcase. Horse took a lot of money for Casse in his debut at Saratoga but was a soundly beaten 3rd. Got sucked right into that one.

Regarding OBS March -- I would say the track was 0.30 seconds faster going 1/8th for Session #2 and about 0.60 seconds faster going 1/4 mile for Session #2.
