Top 10 Ideas After the Works

All ten of my top ideas were “blown up” by works that were too slow. What remains are ideas that are ok at best, and marginal at worst. There will be another 1500 horses at Ocala April to wait for, but it is still a good exercise to rank my favorite ideas:

1. #178 is the boring son of Midshipman that worked a “too fast” 20.4. Maybe I should be more excited? He has a great photo.
2. #195 could be the next Brooklyn Strong, I am sure no rational person has this daughter of Lea on their top 10 list, but I do. Is the 10.1 good enough?
3. #232 was a top 40 yearling idea, and he has a nice 10.0 work at Ocala. I wish the female family was a little stronger. In concept, I am still a Midnight Storm fan.
4. #179 is my crazy idea. He is a son of the little appreciated Shamen Ghost. The best looking yearling I saw at the Texas sale last year was a Shamen Ghost that sold for $32,000. This guy worked 10.0 and has a body that looks longer than normal. His look reminds of the We Miss Artie colt last year
5. #362 is a son of Lemon Drop Kid, that is a full brother to a graded stakes winer. Again is the 10.1 good enough? Now a question of valuation.
6. #6 is only interesting because the female family brings in Dynaformer.
7. #48 and #49 are conventional ideas that are worth thinking about, but most likely will be too expensive
8. #560 is a daughter of Cupid that will not be cheap after a 10.0 work
9. #40 is a daughter of Tonalist from a nice Curlin mare that worked a quick 10.0. Maybe i gave up on Tonalist too fast?
10. #195 will make me do more work on the Ohio stallion Medal Count. Interesting, but not really investable.
