Default Another nice NY bred

Seems as if NY breds have had quite a run with colts who turn into graded stakes winners at age two or three the past few years.
2002- The Ny bred Funny Cide wins a nice two year old Ny bred stakes race, goes on to win 3 grade ones

2003- Friends Lake wins a ny bred two year old stakes race and goes on to win the grade one Florida Derby.

2005- Sharp Humor wins Ny bred stakes races, at age three wins the Swale and gets beaten a neck in the Florida derby to Barbaro.

I'd have to say that Imanumbersguy has a very good shot to join these ny bred two year olds who went on to big things.
In yesterday's Bertram Bongard Stakes, off just two weeks rest after breaking his maiden at Delaware agaisnt open company, he won the Bongard with alarming ease and authority. The fact that he did off two weeks rest of just his first start makes it even more impressive. He looked very good doing it and even though his sire is a sprint sire primarily, his running style(my very favorite, lope with speed and then hit them with a burst) and stride indicates he will go at least one mile and most likely farther.
I'd expect him to go in the NY bred showcase Day at belmont in the two year old one mile race and then perhaps try a race like the Remsen before heading to Oaklawn Park for the winter with Tim Ritchey.
Watch this replay if you haven't seen the race yet. It was a NY bred race so it slipped through the cracks as far as media coverage has gone. This is a VERY nice two year old.
