Would You Believe

Would you believe that at the end of October that Quick Tempo is the 8th fastest 2-yr old in North America?

Even more difficult to believe is that two other horses I “selected” from the the Ocala sale are also on this list. Whatmakessammyrun is the We Miss Artie colt that was sold for just $30,000 at the Ocala sale, and Get Her Number is a $45,000 son of Dialed In.

I am beginning to understand the attraction of 2 year old racing. In just a few races you can move right to the top of the list. It would be nice to know what percentage of horses have already started. I would estimate it was 25%, but that is a wild guess.

QT earned an 87 Beyer for that effort at PARX. The chart below is the top 2 year-old Beyers this year will put that into perspective:
