Two-Year Olds To Follow 2008 - The Official Thread

[aidanldrebin]

Apologies for starting this thread yet again, but things were getting messy and in the light of a few good whispers, thought I would change a couple of selections. In future, I will only add a horse when it is nearly ready too run.

Here is a list of juveniles to follow so far that have been submitted by members.

ALERT by HOLYROMANEMPIRE - 30th April 2008

EMIRATES SPORTS (27/3 b c King's Best(USA)(8.6f) - Time Saved (Green Desert(USA)(7.8f))

Godolphin are much better towards the latter end of the season with their juveniles, but whether seen towards the back end or early on Saeed Bin Surror is supposedly high in praise of the son of Kings Best. A half-brother to the stables Plea Bargain who won the King Edward VII Stakes at York, he to was not short of speed as a juvenile and should be seen to god effect.

It was marvelous to see Henry Cecil return to where he belongs last season when saddling Light Shift to win The Oaks at Epsom, and it was hopefully the start of a return to more good times and you would forgive him if he is confident about Light Shift's half-brother here in Hyades also owned by the Niarchos Family.

Owner: Mr & Mrs Steven Jenkins

Breeder: Christopher J Mason

A full sister to the yards Prime Defender who made up into a good two year old, thought good enough to take oppurtunity in Dewhurst, but bred for speed. Similar to Prime Defender has inherited all the speed of her sibling and said to be a good prospect for the summer.

ADORING One Cool Cat(USA) - Refined(IRE) (Statoblest(6.4f))

Trainer: Willie Haggas

Owner: Highclare Thoroughbred

Breeder: W Maxwell Ervine

A half sister to Loulwa and Galeota, bred for a bit more speed than those siblings and doing well at this early stage, one of Haggas's better youngsters, cost 70,000gns and a late foal who is likely to be seen to good effect in sprints in mid summer.

MAYORSTONE Exceed And Excel(AUS) - Coolrain Lady(IRE) (Common Grounds(8.0f))

Trainer: Brian Smart

Owner: H E Sheikh Rashid Bin Mohammed

Breeder: P J B O'Callaghan

Said to be one of the best fillies in the Smart camp, sales price doubled in 2007 costing 120,000gns, half sister to listed winners who is suposedly very forward in what she has been doing, should make a big name for herself in 2008.

MAKHAALEB Mr Greeley(USA) (7.2f) - Guerre Et Paix(USA) (Soviet Star (USA)(8.5f))

Trainer: Mark Johnston

Owner: Hamdan Al Maktoum

Breeder: London Thoroughbred Services Ltd

A half brother to both Zaham & Alqaab, and though both of those were not seen to their best until stepped upto a 10 furlongs, he is bred to be much more of a miler. Zaham won over a mile as a youngster but was not seen until a three year old, but Maklaaheb should be seen this term, and if reports are right should make a winning introduction when seen.

Well, today sees the first youngster represent this list and to be honest, I couldn't have picked a more liklier winner if I had tried! Been working exceptionally well at home and would advise to take an early price as it could collapse very quickly! O'Brien has won this race in the past with the likes of Holy Roman Emperor and Ivan Devisovich.

SEA OF MARMARA - 4th June 2008 - 18.30 - Leopardstown - IRISH STALLION FARMS EUROPEAN BREEDERS FUND MAIDEN (2yo) ALERT by AIDENLDREBIN - 18th May 2008

He is a half brother to the very smart juvenile Wiseman's Ferry who raced for this yard at two and three before becoming a very smart US performer. Has plenty of good horses in his pedigree and though yard have been slow to come to hand in its juvenile department, this colt is said to be working the place down at Ballydoyle and could well be their big chance of a Coventry winner. Definitely one to catch first time out as he could be a bit special.

Spotlight: Unavailable.

Trainer: Aidan O'Brien
Owner: Mrs John Magnier
Breeder: Nursery Place & Robert T Manfuso

(foal $350,000) 7th foal, closely related to high-class Wiseman's Ferry, 6f winner on 2yo debut, later triple winner over 9f at 3 in US, Scripture (both by Hennessy), dirt sprint winner at 3; dam unraced, half-sister to top-class Bernstein.

To say I am disappointed would probably be a slight understatement as Sea Of Marmara could only manage fourth. The baton is passed on to HRE tomorrow and lets hope he has better luck.

GREEN BERET - 5th June 2008 - 14.50 - Lingfield - COPTHORNE MEDIAN AUCTION MAIDEN STAKES (Class 6) (2yo) - ALERT by HOLYROMANEMPIRE - 26th May 2008

Half brother to both David Nicholls trained pair Tax Free and Inxile, said to be extremely fast and bred to make an impact as a two year old, owned by the same owners of New Approach, sales price more than doubled in August 2007.

Spotlight: Looks the part on paper as a brother to useful 2yo/sprinter Inxile and half-brother to smart Tax Free, both of whom made a winning debut; far and away the highest priced of sire's 2007 yearlings at auction (fetched 120,000gns); no surprise if he plays a big part.

Trainer: John Gosden
Owner: H R H Princess Haya Of Jordan
Breeder: Denis And Mrs Teresa Bergin

(120,000gns) 4rd foal, half-brother to very useful sprinter Tax Free, multiple 5-7f winner at 3-5 and to 5f winner at two, Inxile; dam unraced, half-sister to several winenrs inc. Buddelia, dual 1m winner at 3, out of quite useful sprinter Fernlea

With Green Beret anon-runner, it again falls to yours truly to get this thread off to a winning start following the poor start on Wednesday with Sea Of Marmara.

GYR - 6th June 2008 - 18.45 - Goodwood - SOIL ASSOCIATION EUROPEAN BREEDERS FUND MAIDEN STAKES (Class 5) (2yo) - ALERT by AIDENLDREBIN - 18th May 2008

Half brother to numerous smart performers such as Invincible Spirit, Kodiac, Sadian, Aquarius, Fnan, Acts Of Grace and By Command who is very well regarded down at Arundel by his trainer. His dam also won the French Oaks and this colt's trainer knows the family inside out and also, the fact he is by Pivotal is positive as he has been churning out juvenile winners in recent season's and this could be another smart colt to add to the collection.

RP Spotlight: Lot to like about this 180,000gns buy on paper as a half-brother to high-class 2yo/sprinter Invincible Spirit among other winners; season´s first 2yo runner for back-to-form yard.

Trainer: John Dunlop
Owner: Prince A A Faisal
Breeder: Nawara Stud

(180,000gns) 13th foal, half-brother to 9 winners inc. Invincible Spirit, top-class over 6f at 2-5, Massarra, useful triple 6f winner at 2-3 & Sadian, high-class 10-12f performer at 3-4; dam a high-class 1m winner at 2, later won French Oaks

After two fourth placings from my two choices, Sea Of Marmara and Gyr, all is not lost, but it wasn't the greatest of starts for the thread. I will not be around for the next couple of days, so will get Monday's runner up nice and early. He was withdrawn from his intended engagement on Thursday at Lingfield.

GREEN BERET - 9th June 2008 - 18.30 - Windsor - PSP ASSOCIATION EBF MEDIAN AUCTION MAIDEN STAKES (Class 5) (2yo) - ALERT by HOLYROMANEMPIRE - 18th May 2008

Not a fantastic start to this thread with no winners from three runners, but there has been promise shown by all three and there is still a good few months of the season left yet.

Here are the results so far:-

SEA OF MARMARA - Leopardstown 4th 6/1 - Aidenldrebin alert
GYR - Goodwood 4th 13/2 - Aidenldrebin alert
GREEN BERET - Windsor 2nd 4/1 - HolyRomanEmpire alert

With a modest start, perhaps Bryan Smart can get the ball rolling! As no-one has stepped in to claim Master Rooney as their juvenile to follow, it shall remain as the trainers pick from a recent stable tour.

MASTER ROONEY - 11th June - 19.10 - Hamilton - IRN BRU MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 4) (2yo) - ALERT by BRYAN SMART STABLE TOUR - 28th May 2008

"Quality colt that does all his work exceptionally well. Very pleased with him, indeed. If I've got a horse for the Coventry then this could be it" (Thought I would stick this one in here as his trainer has been going on about him for months!)

Spotlight: Cost 300,000gns, out of a mare who was sharp at two and placed in Listed company after winning her maiden; stable´s youngsters going well (7-19 this year) and would have to be seriously considered if market vibes are at all positive.

Trainer: B Smart
Owner: H E Sheikh Rashid Bin Mohammed
Breeder: Darley

(300,000gns) 2nd foal, half-brother to The Riddler, placed over 1m-10f at 2-3; dam quite useful dual 5-6f winner at 2, half-sister to two US winner at 1m+, out of a multiple winning sister to prolific winner Bull Run, winner at around 6-9f

KHELEYF´S SILVER (IRE) 2-y-o (11 Apr 2006) b f Kheleyf(USA) - Silver Arrow(USA) (Shadeed (USA)(7.7f))

Trainer: B Smart Owner: H E Sheikh Rashid Bin Mohammed
Breeder: Shane Doyle

(230,000euros, foal 58,000gns) 4th foal, half-sister to useful Masta Plasta, dual 5f winner at 2; dam unplaced over 5-12f at 2-3, half-sister to quite useful Ras Shaikh, a 6f winner at 2 & dam of smart 7f colt Racer Forever, out of high-class Dabaweyaa

Expected to make debut very soon for the Smart yard, and one of there better juveniles according to reports from the yard, he has another good string of youngsters headed by the likes of Master Rooney, Mayorstone and a couple of unamed juveniles yet to run, but this should be another to watch with interest. Should run at York on Friday.
