Hey Byrn

[jpops757]

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.

Regardless of anyones opinion, he has earned his way to "THE DERBY TRAIL".

That's very true. If all's well, he's at least one of the favorites for the Florida Derby.

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.

Hey Byrn is named for the owner's late hubby and she certainly doesn't need the money. I doubt this one is for sale, though there have been and will be more offers.

I put in an offer myself... waiting to hear back.

The race was pretty slow. The majority of that field wanted no part of that distance. Im not real excited about anything in there

I think the name "Don't Touch Me There" was under strong consideration ... but she ultimately decided to go with Hey Byrn instead for her #69th ranked son of Put It Back out of Restraining Order.

So the #4 ranked son of Put it Back out of Restraining Order worked a Mile at Calder on Monday. Anyone have a clue as to where this animal is being pointed?

i dont think it matters, he has defeated no one, and i doubt he will go on to be anything

[jcs11204]

i overhyped him, i thought he was a nice horse after his last, i guess not

Beats CAPS LOCK I guess.

with pg and kyrim back, it finally feels like the derby trail is officially open for 2008.

i can feel my brain shrinking already.

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

Is he this years Curlin and what is the starting bid?

He certainly looked good today. I wonder if he can tackle that extra furlong...err...643 feet?

Jay,

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.

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.

Are you sure about that? I swear Brisnet had the 3 (Hey Byrn) at 3-5. Either that or my vision is really going (very possible).
