It’s always among the key questions on everyone’s mind as 2-year-olds begin racing when Keeneland opens in April and the first-year sires have their first chance to show off their progeny. In this ongoing series, we have sought the opinion of several top judges as to who will be on top of the podium when 2019 is in the books.

Eddie Woods, Pinhooker and Pre-Trainer

AMERICAN PHAROAH

“First of all, it’s a great group. But I would have to say Pharoah. Mentally, they have all kinds of quality. I’ve had 12. They move beautifully. I do wonder how quick they’re going to be. They’re not like early, early, 2 year-olds, but they’ll be quality horses at the end of the day. They’re not ‘sprintery’ sorts. They’re fancy moving horses that look like they’ll be two-turn horses. The other thing he has working for him is volume. There are a lot of them out there.

“I’ll be selling four Pharoahs at the 2-year-old sales. I have one in OBS March that is a beautiful big horse and I have another one going to Fasig-Tipton who is a gorgeous horse. I expect they will sell very well.

“A sleeper? Could you call Tonalist a sleeper? Then he’s my pick. They are nice horses, good movers, great natured. I have five.”
