Karrots Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Who will be this seasons top 2y-o ... ? As we await for the 1st, 2y-o race of the season. Taking a glance back at the 2020 yearlings sales catalogue and the usual AS owners that brought, none from what I saw, has its trainer up yet - I checked about a few days ago, possibility between then & now some could have put trainer up in horses profile on HRNZ if in training. Who will get the honours? A bigger stable, a smaller stable, a hobby trainer? As the season progresses, can use this thread to make our predicts on top 2y-o and the stable they will come from. On another note - taking a look at 2021 yearlings sales & some pix & videos are up. Lot 2 is called OK Boomer. The thing that caught eye, was horsey has big bum & big belly like Karrots yearling. Karrots already sniffing out the potential competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karrots Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 20 hours ago, hunterthepunter said: and fast? lol Yes that is the key question. Have to wait and see. The early 2 y-os, I will be keeping my eyes on are: Sugar Apple, 1/2 bro to American Dealer & full to Sweet Maddison. Won recent trial - Green Argyle - By Bettors Delight - Won a trial and workout - Green Mitsi Gaynor - Sweet Lou full sister Im a Gigolo. Won a trial recently - Dalgety See HRNZ have recently updated Sweet Lou winners, too include the Oz winners, that were breed here, but they still have missed Joey Lincoln. Good to have it correct prior the 2021 yearling sale. Sweet Lou has the most numbers along with Art Major. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrots Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Well look out the early 2 y-os are stepping out in North today & tomorrow trials/workouts.

eljay Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Auckland has programmed 2 year olds for next Friday. They may be a bit hopeful with both C&G & fillies races but they should get one race off the ground. Results & videos of yesterdays trials are posted on HRNZ site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Argyle was the sales topper last year, wasn't he? I think David Butcher has chosen him as his race drive from the Lincoln Farms stables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spotting Eljay re Argyle, Im not sure but can check and confirm. Actually thats what we could do. Take a look at the prices of some of these horse from yearling sales 2020.

eljay Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 From your list Karrots Sugar Apple - $30,000 Mitsi Gaynor - $35,000 From Auckland Sale - Argyle too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did some Karrot research - here is what I found 😁 Ok so Argyle came in at 5th highest. Below are those $200k + 1. = Toro Stride $280,000 Trotter 1. = Moet Shard $280,000 3. Master Stride $250,000 4. Five Bangles $220,000 5. Argyle $210,000 6. Ultimate Missile $210,000 7. Next To Me $200,000 8. Bollinger $200,000 That seems like a good buy for Sugar Apple, thinking what both and only siblings to the races have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be noms and fields out today, do you know of a 2 y-o horse to look out for Eljay either now or later in season? It's exciting for everyone involved, anyone could have their hands on the Top Dog 2y-o male/female, who will it be ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I haven't seen the 2 latest weeks trials live and most of them just being educated. The only guide is likely to be in who is driving which horse. No doubt David Butcher will get the pick of the Lincoln Farms quartet and with regards to the southern ones whether a driver comes north rather than staying at Addington Friday. Auckland noms tomorrow - they seem to have switched from a Monday to a Tuesday when Cambridge racing in the same week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge again. Didn't realize. All the racing action be at Cambridge. Oh my. Well its certainly centralized. From a lets talk about something, its getting a bit on the same, same side. Like really again, and again and again. Would start to switch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Looking at Cambridge numbers nominated looks like they will try and run 10 races but to do this some will be skinny in numbers. Better they plump for 9 but I don't think they will. Support for amateurs race again very poor and race canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Cross Codes to announce to us, another on his, who needs to improve driver/trainer list). What will bookies place odds at? $1.50, $2? or a longshot at $20?

Looks like they are pushing on with 2 races, pending withdrawals. Exciting to see newbies. Hope they don't get stage fright. Be interesting to see how the 3 I have got eyes on go. And how the $250K purchase does in comparison to the more modest buys at $30k and 35K as a contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Fields out - Argyl draws 1 - almost dead cert this will be DJB's drive. Wonder who drive the Dalgety team - will they bring up a driver or use the locals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, if they don't, dunno maybe Ferg. Think have seen him drive for them before. That just guess tho. We wait we see 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Mitsi Gaynor as 3rd fav & Sugar Apple as an outsider - likely due to carpark draw. Ohoka Creed opening fav boys race. Chevron Bypass opening fav girls race. T Mitchell got the call up for Dalgety team. Won't be able to watch tomorrow nite, but will watch replays with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
