2yo Breeder Cup Sprint
High Flying
A competitive field of runners line up for this year’s renewal and we chatted to the stables about their charges. A wide open race. Moonlight Special is very speedy, and is a narrow first choice from Partially Lame, but a case could be made for virtually every horse.

2. Partially Lame |
2yo filly from Sinthville, Career earnings: $120,000 Overall rating: Adequate(37) – Stalker |

Born:Fri 6th Jan 2017, bred by Sinthville
Lineage:By FireBall Twerkin’ out of Eire Twenty Five

Stable comments: – “Out of my beloved Eire Twenty Five, Partially Lame shocked the whole staff at Sinthville by winning her heat. This filly potentially should have been in Prisoner Cell block H, harder than most other offspring born into the stable. She appears to be unphazed with gender or various styles. She has the bunny boiler “Stalker” trait and a nice turn of foot. Conditions favour the majority of other runners who are fast finishers but high hopes are still there for this hardy girl, could she hammer home Sinthvilles`s 1st ever world trophy? I wouldn’t want to be the horse that ruins her day if not…”
3. Young Bull |
2yo colt from Winning Post Farm, Career earnings: $30,000 Overall rating: Adequate(38) – Fast finisher |

Stable comments: – “Young Bull is a fast finishing sprinter bred at Winning Post Farm – as were both his parents. He was made favourite for the heat and managed a fast finishing fourth place so it looks like the step up in trip for the final will suit him well. There are obviously several strong rivals to contend with but we are hopeful of a top five finish if he can put it all together on the day.”

Stable comments: – “Village Idiot is going to be a short distance runner, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be trying in this sprint race. The distance is too short for him, but with a little racing luck he may get top five.”

Stable comments: – “Moonlight Stable is hoping our little stalker will turn into something ‘special’. He ran a good qualifying race and has been recovering from the race nicely. But any time you have to go up against master stables such as DR Stable and ghanainternational, you better have something special! Looking forward to the battle.”

Stable comments: – “Biscay just going around for a run would be better suited to a short race but may surprise.”
10. Maelstrom |
2yo colt from Brigadoon, Career earnings: $58,000 Overall rating: Acceptable(41) – Needs space |

Stable comments: – “2yo BC Sprint looks an interesting race this year with several top hopes. The one to beat will be Moonlight Special, its heat win was should and should be the hot favorite for the race. My runner Maelstrom worked home well in the heat and should be thereabouts at the finish from the poor draw will be rattling home late. Of the others Young Bull could be the upset horse as its drawn well and with luck in the running could surprise the leading contenders. Good luck to all qualifiers.”
11. Unexpected Ice |
2yo filly from Rawhide, Career earnings: $58,000 Overall rating: Adequate(39) – Fast finisher |

Lineage:By Tropical Ice out of Nell Unexpected

Stable comments: – “Unexpected Ice will have to overcome a bad draw if she is going to do anything in this race. Really looking to be a short distance specialist we don’t expect much, but in these 2yo races anything can happen.”
12. Indy Markey Coyi |
2yo colt from Shimtag, Career earnings: $0 Overall rating: Adequate(38) – Fast finisher |

Stable comments: – “Yellonky’s Young Boy is his Grandad. Yellonky’s Fast Donny Franky is his Dad. So good bloodline. Think Indy will be towards the back of the pack, haven’t quite figured him out yet. We are looking forward to a great day out.”

Stable comments: – “They both went good in the heats thought I had it won but got rolled, but 2nd and 3rd was a good effort, I rarely win these big races but hey if your not in you can’t win so I guess I’ll see..If they go like they did in the heats they will be hard to beat. but that’s an a very big IF.”
