Alisha - Blesk finished 2nd in the Cena Zimniho Favorita Strike Sportu Stakes in Prague. It was his first and only start so far. Sorry I didn't preview that one.

Frank J - I'm no expert either, but it is definitely true that Smarty Jones and Pleasantly Perfect do not have as many runners as the others you have mentioned - Smarty Jones has had 28, Pleasantly Perfect 18. On the other hand, Medaglia d'Oro has had 49, and Peace Rules and Congaree have both had 41. So, it's better to look at percentages rather than raw numbers of winners.

Regarding Pleasantly Perfect, I don't think you breed to him to get a 2-year old winner, you are looking for a classic winner. So, 2-year old winners are a bonus. But, we have already seen that Pleasantly Perfects do well on the turf.

Regarding Smarty, people forget that he didn't break his maiden until November. So, the best is yet to come. He's certainly had some flashy winners like Be Smart and Keefer.

How would you rate on a scale on the job done by Pleasantly Perfect and Smarty on their freshmen year?? I am no expert by any means but obviously I know PP's foals should get better by distance. Perhaps the Smarty's aren't coming along as quickly as expected but think he'll be ok. From what you post it seems like Medaglio D'oro and Congaree and Peace Rules have so many more runners than the 2 I mentioned, am I correct in that asessment?
