One Liner is also trained by Pletcher, owned by Winstar, and sired by the brittle Into Mischief. He's just making it back to the races this weekend from his Southwest score nearly a year ago that put him on the Derby trail. If I recall correctly, the plan with him was to "train up to" some major final prep race, too.

If that's not enough, Into Mischief also hasn't shown much aptitude when it comes to siring horses with stamina for the classics.

Or he may be Materiality circa 2018; run a huge fig in the Florida Derby and turn into a pumpkin once he moves north of the Mason Dixon line. The dam was a nickel claimer devoid of talent, on an encouraging note, they paid a pile for the colt twice 150 as a yearling and 500 as 2 year old so he must be a very good looking type?

This leads us to one MAJOR question:

Now that Montauk’s off the trail, who will RHT hitch his wagon to prematurely so that he could be the first one to bump the thread and say “told ya so”?


And on another more interesting note, am I the only one that’s uninspired by this group of 3 year olds? I know it’s early, and there’s plenty of time for these youngsters to improve mightily, but im more pumped for some of the 3 yr old turfers to kick off their campaign than I am of the dirt horses. Rushing Fall and Analyze It most notably.

Bolt d'Oro appears to be quite talented and recall that his Beyer Speed figure for the Norfolk would have been near the tops all-time for a juvenile had the figure makers not decided to lower it based on logic/contextual factors.

That Good Magic lit him up in the BC Juvenile puts him up there as well, and Solomini came back and flattered them both in the CashCall. On top of that, the expensive Instilled Regard came to hand once he started routing, and in turn, boosted the form of Los Al at FG.
