Very impressive 2yo at HP

S.S. Stone, in the 9th at HP today.

Well worth watching.

He's a smallish son of birdstone that cost 160k and won in 103.77. I really like the way he extended himself once he pushed through that hole.

Finished great! To do it up the rail like that first time is pretty rare no?

The outside horse out of the full to Ashado looked home free. The winner ran a monster race.

I didn't notice much about the third horse other than he was maybe in last early on.

Speightstown baby, right? Any early number on his babies? That one looked home free for sure.

I hate giving labels on horses who win FT impressively. I will determine after 3-4 races afterm if the horse is the real deal. We saw a flop in Mr. Mistofelees as the 1-5 fav.

The next time SS STONE runs I am betting against cause he is going to be way overbet. If O'neil is smart I would put this horse in an ALW NX1 next out instead in 2 yo Stakes.

ss stone was ok, the leader kinda quit allowing ss stone to surge and get up...
i am intigued by the third place finisher, def. now awesome like my friend said, but he made up a ton of ground, should love the stretchout

I'm not sure if they even bother writing first condition allowance races for 2yos in SoCal anymore.

Depending on the scheduling, he'll show up next in either the Hollywood Juvenile or Best Pal or both...

The overbet horse next out will be Street Hero...if he shows up in another maiden...given his trainer, he may show up in a stakes as well...

Since when is 'impressive' that burdensome of a label?

It's not like I proclaimed him the next Bernardini that's going to win the BC Juvi then sweep the triple crown.

Yes, poor start, but nice move off the turn from way back. Big stride. A nice horse, but very green.

I think the runner up is a better horse and started to pull himself up.

Where did you come up with 160K from?

He was a 135K yearling that RNA'd for 300K at FT Feb.

Surprised he didn't go to Nick Zito. As he's owned by LePenta and Zito obviously trained the sire Birdstone.

That is strange - bred by Marylou Whitney, too. I didn't even realize that LaPenta had horses stabled out there.

Yup, 135k. I was being inundated with PIP bets for the day and my brain froze.

I just went back and keyed in on the third place finisher. That horse seems to have a lot of upside, as he ran like he was retarded for most of the race.

I'd probably wait on that horse to bet him. Maybe after another start or once he goes two turns.

Is there a large son of Birdstone anywhere? Here is a thought get a English Channel filly and breed her to Birdstone maybe you could get the fastest pony in land?
