Final List of 2 Year Olds In Training

The two year old in training sale season can be a little confusing.

1. March Ocala sale – for the most precocious
2. Gulfstream sale – a true select sale for 100 expensive horses
3. Texas sales – a strange collection of cheaper horses
4. Ocala April – the big sale with a wide selection
5. Timonium – kind of. a select sale, on dirt rather than Ocala’s synthetic

I have selected a group of 30 horses from these sales. I will include the Texas horses in a different group because I am highly skeptical about the quality of horses in this sale. Here is my group of 30.
