So appreciate following the new contenders to the sport of racing. I am particularly interested in Rock Hard Ten's progeny as well as Medaglia D'Oro's and Empire Maker's. Rock Hard Ten should have a significant impact on horse racing in the years to come.

An amazing 2 year old gelding to watch for is named Gallant Gent. He is by Yankee Gentleman out of a Knights Choice mare. He debuted last night at Hollywood Park in a 40K maiden claimer. He had problems out of the gate - was checked twice going down the backstretch and still came out of nowhere to win the race. Just an amazing performance by a first time starter. I felt sorry for his trainer - He was claimed out of that start. Smart connections who found him.

Chris Taylor - Yes, I love a 6 furlong work, especially from a 2-year old.

Gregcfin - Saint Liam's first winner was in Russia in mid-June, but the news is a little late in getting to the U.S. The Jockey Club recognized the win yesterday, as far as I can figure (at least it wasn't there when I wrote about Draw a Blank on Wednesday). See more about the winner here.

Did the staff that writes articles under breeding news miss Saint Liam's first winner, or did I miss it? Congrats to a great horse that we lost to soon.

It was only a maiden claimer but a first time 2 year old Peace Rules was quite impressive in her race at Pleasanton. She won gate to wire by almost 8 lengths easily - you can watch the replay for free on Calracing -The filly's name is Izzy Rules

I'm glad someone mentioned That's How I Roll. I was going to say something and forgot. She's a full-sister to 3-year old stakes-placed Chattertown. Guess that's a cross that works!

Ok, apparently Community Server won't let me post the replay in the comment box. But, you can watch the replay here.

Nice win by Draw a Blank - I wish there was going to be more than 1 crop by St Liam....

Another very good win was by That's How I Roll - a two year old

Speightstown filly - she may have a nice future.

I think if Col. Wease wasnt running in the middle of the track he would have won today. I think he ran about a half mile further than the rest. 2nd isnt shabby.

Nancyb - Overall, Smarty Jones has had 55 starters, 28 winners, 1 stakes winner, and 2 stakes placers.

Although we are not following his 2009 2-year olds, we did happen to catch the impressive debut win of Backdraft, a half-brother to grade II winner Bsharpsonata on June 11. He is expected to make his next start in the Bashford Manor (gr. III) at Churchill Downs on July 3.

Nancy,

One of my favorites(Along with Rockland, Can't wait for his return!), "Ritzy Jones" is racing on July 4th at Philadelphia Park in an Allowance (Race 8). He came in fourth last time out(05/22), Four races, 1 win, 1 second, Hope he does well and stays safe.
