F.T. Saratoga Select Yearlings 2018

I would guess that the vet that you were speaking with was correct in saying that “you don’t see conformation like that at the track” if only because yearlings aren’t on the track, and most everyone knows that in 5 months when some of these yearlings will be on the track, they will have matured and some of their physical bits will have changed.

I doubt, from seeing those that went through the ring and from knowing that the selectors are some of the best in the business, that there were conformation flaws that would keep any of those yearlings from entering training …

I agree, they were an impressive lot!

They were specifically talking about things they won’t grow out of. Between the two of them they had almost 80 years of experience. Maybe more? One is semi-retired and mainly just does sales. I read your comment about some of them being on the track in 5 months and thought, no way, they don’t start writing 2 yo races until april, but sheesh, you are right. In 5 months we will be talking about the 2019 Derby prospects and whether or not we will have an early spring.

I missed yesterday’s, but the 2nd day of the N.Y. Select yearling has has just started.
They are looking good so far.

I don’t know how successful their get will be on the track but, IMHO, Cairo Prince and Fed Biz have some very attractive yearlings. :yes:
