Saratoga 2YO Stars?
I must admit I didn't pay as close attention this year, but can't remember the sizzling 2YO races that set the tone for the high level 3YO's. Usually there are several races with big winners by open lengths.
Who did I miss?

That Baffert horse - Bulldogger or whatever - won pretty convincingly on Travers day. . . 6.5 lengths with a 90 Beyer.

There's a Twitter page that seems to be tracking 2yos everywhere and has tweets about some of the Spa juveniles:

Andy made a comment yesterday on Talkin' Horses about it being Saratoga and having good 2-year-old races... I'm not sure if this is related or not but it did jog my memory about the lack of breakthrough/standout 2-year-old performances. Usually there are a few per week that generate buzz.

If you're looking for a serious horse for next year ... I'd say without question that Maker Ghostzapper Stately Victor struck me as super impressive on both surfaces. His dirt debut was sneaky strong.

starting with the Breeders Futurity at Kee next month. As will the Pletcher (Interactif) in turf/poly stakes. Another serious 2yo colt Im interested in where he shows up next is Bridgetown for Ken McPeaked.

The Kenneally who runs back today in the Grade 1 was as green as can be and still got it done. Lukas is crazy over Dublin, he got a perfect trip but he also ran big, 90 beyer I think.

Totally agree with this one, he did get a perfect trip Saturday, but he also exploded up the fence. Some babies wont go through like that.

While not at Saratoga, She Be Wild, at Arlington is an impressive undefeated 2 YO filly. She has been throttled down at the end of each of her three victories.

The 3 ran really well, did not get clear till very late in the race. With a clean trip I think he wins easily. Good call with the EK.

Gales was right about Kenneally, he had a positive ROI with the babies. He had an ROI of $2.99, congrats.
That being said, that was a rag-tag bunch in the Hopeful that would have looked ugly had Hot Dixie Chick been entered against them. NT

Apparently the Beyer boys didn't feel that the Hopeful was that bad...89 Beyer for Dublin. Not sure that it was that terrible of a group actually. Hot Dixie Chick seems like an exception and not the rule off her last two races. I think the Hopeful will turn out to be a decent race. Horse though to look out for who is still a maiden though is Eightyfiveinafifty, who was the third place finisher in the Dublin MSW win who won a race long speed duel with Discreetly Mine, ended up finishing third and then Discreetly Mine came back to win as everyone seems to know. Hockley looked like he might have been a comer after the 2nd in that Maiden, but he was abysmal I thought in the Gun Rock race.

Can't remember seeing any impressive two-year-old males other than D' Funnybone and maybe Bulldogger. Hot Dixie Chick is a bad mama though and Beautician is very good in her own right too. The baby girls look like a good bunch.
