Gomez; Espinoza; Baze; Flores; Enriquez = Santa Anita.. Cobalt Blue is a Doug O'Neill colt by Golden Missle that was Adena bred and now is in the possession of Merv Griffin.. He was an 'early' juvenile, debuting as a winner over a non-descript Maiden group at HOL before trying the Gr. II Best Pal at DMR in his second start (Principle Secret; Great Hunter; Stormello). Got hurt, and was shelved. Has been working since December though for the return. I'll talk to O'Neill today and see how he has been doing...

Cobalt Blue
Nice return today but probably not good enough to move into the top tier yet. watch for a move-up and stretch out. Hope they dont test against the top bunch but Im sure there is a minor Stakes race in SoCal for him in a month or so.

Spoke with a friend of mine today on the West Coast. I heard he looked pretty good today winning his first start back, but I didn't see the race myself. Not sure how the splits or trip went, or how the race set up for him, etc.

1:09 and change fast pace that he closed on , Stalked close to the pace pulled away from the favorite atthe wire . won by a couple. Im just glad it appears he has overcome his slight setback. The big question is, was it the stiff compition that he couldnt keep up with in his previous race or did he have a real problem?

I don't know how the roadtotheroses challenge goes and this was probably stupid, but I put Cobalt Blue in my stable when I set it up yesterday.

Look at it this way, to do well you need to get some points that most other people aren't getting. Nobiz and Ravel aren't going to do that for you because 98% of the people in the contest will have them. 98% won't have Cobalt Blue.
