Superfly is Zito's 2yo but I am having second thoughts as Super Steve Asmussen has QUAHADA in the same race with Bailey and has worked the same slow steady works that all his phenomenal 2 year old stable of debut winners have and IJ would be hard pressed to go against this approximately 65% winner with 2yo starters at the Spa this meet. Just goes to show that teaching 2yo's how to break sharply makes all the difference. I don't know where they will be next spring but that's not my probem. I gotta score now.


One of his top 2yo's just swept the Monmouth stakes for juveniles and won the bigger one by 81/2 lengths. HE"S GOT GRIT is a key horse for evaluation purposes as he may be as good as the 2yo's at Saratoga othet than Hugh Hennesy and First Samurai, or maybe as good. I got some nice info on a Delaware Park 2yo trained by Mike Matz who ran at 12-1 the other day after stepping up to allw vs. a field full of horses who ran against GRIT. He missed the whole shabang by 1/2 length after being boxed and steadied on the turn, racing greenly down the stretch and closing against the unforgiving speed bias. His name escapes me right now, but he came in third to Creve Coeur (Grahma Motion's 2yo)in the 7th at Delaware on Monday. He is FAST and won his maiden at 19-1 so he likes to win at a price.
