Super Ninety Nine...
I was impressed by his first two turn race yesterday. Stalked a reasonable pace (46 2/5) took over at 3/4 in 1:10 and finished up solid for a mile in 1:35.11. and had a nice gallop out. Wonder if Baffert is going to go to Arkansas with him like he did with Secret Circle? Can you post is Beyer # when possible, Steve.. Thanx

I think he makes a lot more sense as a Derby prospect than Secret Circle did.

impressed again by Super99. Not sure how much the track hurt some of the other runners, but didn't faze 99 at all. Hopefully he will make it back for the Ark Derby. I'm sure it will be a much tougher field...

Was he the one that Baffert called a miler? His female family relations include Exogenous, Curlin, and Countess Diana. Also Win Variation, a GSW in Japan who finished 2nd to Orfevre in the Japanese TC races. If SNN is out of an Unbridled's Song mare, is by Pulpit, and has extended family that can handle routes, I assume he must've given some indication that he got some serious genes from the Phone Trick branch of the family tree. Is he built like a sprinter or something? Perhaps a Midnight Lute-esque breathing issue that limits his distance capabilities?
Incidentally, I figure Midnight Lute's gonna get some distance horses. It's a shame his problem couldn't be worked out. Fortunately he had enough talent/speed to handle sprinting or he wouldn't have gotten the chance he's getting at stud. He's Real Quiet's big hope to continue that line and now Quiet American's pensioned.

This is one of the cases where all you had to do was pick the highest speed figure. I don't see why he can't do the same on a fast track though. He already won a dirt route at Santa Anita on a dry, fast dirt surface.
