just a couple of comments on this one, Ryerson has always been a real good trainer that knows how to develop younger horses. these days when you see young horses that win from one particular barn you can expect other horses to come along and run good as well. since they are all training with each other, they all get better with together.
last year there was a stretch of 2 weeks in New Mexico where trainer Todd Fincher kept winning baby race after baby race. he must have won 15 of them in the 2 week span. the same thing used to happen with Wesley Ward when his 2 year olds were winning in Keeneland and all over the place. before Wesley was winning there Steve Asmussen did some winning by his own right there. switching over to the big leagues, there have been plenty of times when Todd Pletcher and Bob Baffert string 5 or 6 in row in the better maiden races. i have also seen guys like James Divito string together wins with first time starters in Chicago. Ed Pleasa and Bill White used to do it at Calder when they had a bigger 2 year old program. Kelly Breen was hot for a few summers at Monmouth as well. Linda Rice was winning a alot with her father's horses that he sent up as well in New York.
the first 2 year old race this year will be on March 21'st at Sunland going 4 1/2 furlongs. there will be about 6 races each day for their trial's. it will be interesting to see if Todd Fincher puts on another clinic there this year as well. he probably will, because what i saw of him last year, his horses were all schooled quite well and they were dead fit to go that distance.
