Margano broke his maiden today on turf. DRF's Twitter said it was very impressive and to keep an eye on him this winter. I haven't had a chance to see the race yet, but here's a photo of Margano going into the winner's circle via Alex Brown: http://twitpic.com/7rip3f You can see Barclay Tagg walking behind him. Who's the jockey?

@Derbycontenders tweeted some photos of him, too. Great looking colt.

Video of Margano's race today. He rallied very nicely in the stretch for the win.

Thanks to Monarchos1 and Theatrical for the heads up on the photos and the video. I think he's a pretty striking colt. It's something about his mane. It always seems a little wild, as if making it stay flat and evenly cut would be next to impossible, and I find it a little endearing when I see horses with that characteristic.
