Yeah - I bet him that day - he paid $19 to win going 1st time Frankel and getting a huge weight break from Siphonic. He beat a River Downs horse by 2.5 lengths ... and the River Downs horse was 3/1.

I assumed it was about debut wins.

Summer Colony broke her maiden with a 32.75 length win and a triple digit Beyer.

It was the all-time most impressive maiden win by a horse who had already failed in 7 or more maiden attempts.

I can't believe they really distinguished between 32.75 and 33 lengths.

Indian Charlie was pretty awesome.

Cee's Tizzy won his second start and was so impressive, I really did not believe my eyes until I got home and watched it a few more times.

Someone mentioned Lakeway. Her debut was forgettable. She won in an all out drive against the decent Madder than Mad. Her second start was insane.

There was what I think was the first runner from Peterhof to run in Socal that was awesome. She won by like 10 in her debut, for I think Gary Jones. Mccarron jokingly said after the race "Those Peterhofs sure can run!". I wish I remembered her name.

Phone Trick.
Barbaro.
Swear. The greatest horse nobody has ever heard of.
Likeable Style was visually impressive. What was impressive was that last to first move by a humungous filly that was bred to run all day long, but made that move in a sprint. She was by Nijinsky II out of a Nodouble mare.


Timebank going 114.2 in his 2nd start (msw) was nice.

I think Go For Wand won by like 15.
Congaree's maiden win was awesome

The San Felipe, that was an interesting race, he looked beat at the top of the stretch but rallied to win. I know you will get this but most will be surprised who rode him that day, not the usual rider associated with Frankel.

I remember Lure being pretty mediocre until Shug tried him on turf.

Can't believe I forgot about Affirmatif. Broke his maiden @ 1 mile on the turf at GP earlier this year. It was also his debut.

He is entered Saturday in a stakes race @ Pimlico......

That was good, however what I mean't was he really looked like something special when Shug tried him on turf the first time. Then later that yeat at Gulfsteam he wired a very good field in BC mile setting some extraordinary fractions.

Speaking of PartyManners youtube vids, did anyone mention Smarty Jones, I remember seeing that one posted somewhere. That one deserves a mention.

Absolutely, he was a different animal when he got on turf...

This was his first turf try..

American Day's maiden win in career start #2 (first on turf) was absolutely awesome.

The Nureyev half brother to Best Pal won by 13 in 1:41 and change at HP.

Another turfer that was supposed to have won really impressively was Chapel of Dreams. I never saw her maiden win, but I believe this Northern Dancer half to Storm Cat won by about 15 in her first attempt on turf.

Another NYRA horse I remember was Slew the Dragon. I remember him costing about 800k and his first two starts were up the track finishes on dirt.

Switched to turf at Saratoga, he runs off and wins by 15. He ended up winning something like 6 out of 7 on turf, with his lone loss to Danger's Hour.

I don't think he ever did anything at stud.
