Promising Late Blooming 2 Year Olds of 2013

[Zenyatta]

Since we're now post-BC, it's time to look for nice debut performances by the late bloomers.

Coup de Grace, winner of the 1st today at Aqueduct,  could be any kind. By Tapit out of a Storm Cat mare, he's owned by Fox Hill farm, who paid 200K+ for him. Nice looking, flashy chestnut. He can run too.

Hopefully Purple Sky.. he goes in race 7 today at CD. I also like Bump Start as a longshot in that one.

[Zenyatta]

We should look at the Moccasin @ HP today. Some nice fillies in there. I have a soft spot for For Emma, who annihilated a 50k maiden field at SA in her first start.

She was the only one within 10 lengths of Bajan.

A for effort. She tried.

Almost Famous recooped his form at CD. Won by open lengths.

Can't wait for early derby wagering!!

I can't wait for the first "Derby Dozen," to which I may contribute but I recall the poster who annually unveiled his list getting undeservedly beaten up, so I'll refrain from starting THAT thread.

I don't think the same bullies are on here. Maybe you can entice Matt to dual-post his Early Derby Dozen in this forum. I always enjoy his analysis and "first look" at potential candidates for the first day in May.

I don't know about Matt dual-posting but I know one thing - right now I can't even come up with a list of 12 horses I think will be in the gate on Derby day.

But we can all post the ones we like anyway!

Just pick twelve two year old sons of Tiznow!

[ElPrado]

Then add 8 early maturing sons of Tapit.

Hm. Unfortunately, no. He tanked yesterday...

[Blue Jeans]

Meow!  Love those 'Kittens'.   

[ElPrado]

I think I have a formula I can use about now as far as the Triple Crown goes.

Take 4 from Pletchers barn, it does not matter which, he will enter them all anyway. Add a filly.
2 from Baffert, if he does not try with a filly, too.
2 from Asmussen.
2 from Lukas.
2 from Roman.
1 from ONeill.
3 from Brown, gotta find some place to run a bunch of Kittens.
1 from Zito.
1 from Biancone.
1 from Catalano.
1 from Amoss.
And 2 from anyone else that can squeeze one in the gate.
That is 20.

Now, we go through the shaking out of the no hopers and wanna bes.
