Patience is an easy strategy to talk about. It is easy to write about.
Patience is much more difficult to actually practice.
About half of my horses I imaginarily purchased have been named and show a few works. Maybe a few are close to getting a start.
There are several that have not even been named. That might be a bad sign, or it just might be a strategy to disguise their works. It is difficult to report works when the horse is not named.
My strategy is to not select horse that ate likely to be great 2 year olds, so I have to be patient.
It is interesting to note that West Point, Eclipse, Starlight, and all the other partnership have not had a decent 2 year old so far. The one exception is Ironhorse that had a Distorted Humor colt that ran a great race at Saratoga. His name is Momos.
