It took forever for the nomination to come up on the Breeder's Cup site. Also, shes still only a yearling, I'm not sure if they name their yearlings right away.

Speedy Jones looked pretty ugly at auction when he was a yearling. Beau Greeley bought him for 120K at Fasig-Tipton May. I'm not sure what he looks like now. Edit.. I found the link.. http://www.finalturngallery.com/albu...ll_Get_Along_2

yikes!!!! my friend saw him and told me he was scary but she didn't do him justice...let's hope for his sake he was 'going through a phase'...not that that will change those legs, but real quiet got around the track on worse.

Yea, definately! Aside from looking pretty exhausted in that picture, he isn't the prettiest thing. I read somewhere that he looks better now. I'd love to see a picture of him.

i think he doubled his price when sold as a two-year old so he must have improved some...also in his yearling pic he just doesn't look well prepared...coat has no bloom and he's got hay belly...who consigned him?
nevermind I just looked it up myself...

Smarty isn't a good looking horse either IMO. I wouldn't pay 100 grand to breed to him, that's for sure. (Small eyes and crooked to boot.) This colt might look better now...

best line I heard about smarty was when a friend of mine went to see him @ three chimney's and she said she wouldn't send a mare to him because it 'looked like both his front legs came out of the same hole'

I'm not going to lie. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't pay that kind of money to breed to a horse that looks like that. Bad idea to pass on those kind of genetics. JMO... (and I'm entitled to it.
