BI day one

If my Breeders Invitational Classic prediction yesterday is to come true the ladies will have to pick it up some. They mostly looked good but some of their male adversarys looked really sharp. Most notably so 5yo Cat Ichi gelding EE Ichi Bar & Tommy Marvin. The pair scored a strong 223 to take the lead after half the field have completed the first go. I don't know if it factors in, but he's owned by the cattle supplier for the BI, Bill & Dianna Helm!

Miss Peptonstiletos

 As far as "my" mares go Special Nu Baby scored a solid 218 and looked super strong. Stylish Martini and Roger Wagner 217.5 and also looked on her toes. Good to see Ed Dufurrena & Nievas making the cut with a 218.5! Josh King and Shes A High Brow is borderline to make it I think with a 215, here's hoping he does! (sidenote: Swedish aquaintance Andy Adams is one of the judges in this one.) 120+ties advance and 60 horses scored a 215 or higher after yesterdays round. Jaime Snider had another great mare, Miss Peptonstiletos score big yesterday with a 220.5. Unfortunately Tim Smith and My Lizzy Babe was alittle off and had a pretty soft run scoring 213 and probably will have a hard time making it to the 2nd go. Other notable dropouts, Rocking W lost a cow with 40 seconds left but never really looked in sync. 2011 Super Stakes winner Olenasduallyfeather also drew a blank with Clint Allen in the saddle.

2011 Derby winner Indian Rick

Today the 1st round continues with more outstanding horses! One Rockin Pepto, Reys Desire, Little Pepto Cat, Wiley Cat, One Time Royalty, Light N Lily, Sly Playgirl, George C Merada, Moms Stilish Cat, SVR Reyl Smart, Cat Man Blue, Indian Rick, Blue One Time and Rascal Cats to name "a few".

2010 Futurity Non-Pro champ One Rockin Pepto

Personally I'm keeping an x-tra eye on Rocking W Ranch's Rose Rey and Sally Cats Hot as I looked at some yearlings out of them earlier this year.

Boon San-Rose Rey colt, Mr Sam W.
