Hey Byrn
Is this a colt that needs to stay in his conditions or is he ready to make a run at the top 3yr olds? The way he has looked in his condition is awsome. Will the quality and sretch-out make him look more ordinary? Very rare for a owner and trainer letting a colt show his quality before jumping into the fire.

Sounds right DaHoss. Though, Godolphin still has time to buy him and ship him to Dubai.

Interesting colt.. $30k as a yearling (Put It Back's average was $23k off the $5k fee), and then $160,000 six months later at the March OBS last year.. Plesa gave him four months off after that summer campaign (shins?), and here he is a different horse. VERY similar development curve to Smooth Air, though Smooth Air looks to be best suited one turning. Had run a (neg) -1 on TG to correspond to the 97 Beyer, and will be anxious to see where this comes back. Will absolutely have the vultures circling... But Mrs. Oxenberg may not be of a mind to sell. (You can just imagine who's feverishly dialing the phones as we speak in fact!)

The horses he beat in the NW1X earlier in the meet were probably better than what Pyro beat up on in the Risen Star. I'm not knocking Pyro; just those who mistakenly think Hey Byrn isn't a legit Derby contender, at this point.
Interesting how Hey Byrn was 3-5 in the betting around 12 minutes to post, right where he figured to be......then amazingly came up to 2-1! You just don't see that often were a horse who looks like they will destroy a field will go up from a legit 3-5 to 2-1.

Not sure how the first part of your post is true, but whatever, however it was Alaazo that was 3:5 early and drifted to 9:5. Hey Byrn wasn't lower than 2:1 and drifted down to get there.

So what is wrong with how Hey Byrn looked? Performance on the track is the only thing that counts.

Personally, I have a lot of horses to root for as I made a field bet in pool 1. I'd love to see Plesa have a Derby runner. Hopefully he keeps the colt but who knows. To me, it's still very early. And to me the Risen Star was oddly run. Can't knock the winner but that race doesn't often turn out especially important.

Don't get me wrong, Hey Byrn ran a nice race and looked good doing it but count me among those who wants me to see him beat a horse not named Bordeaux Bandit. The Risen Star field might not have been great but it is not even comparable to that allowance field today. Hell, Blackberry Road and/or Visionaire would have been heavily bet in Gulfstream's 3rd today and Z Fortune would have probably been 3-5. NT
