It's still very early but this might be the nicest colt to come along in a while. As always, it will be interesting to see when he faces the top colts, but he's now 5 for 5 and has just been on cruise control. Looks very impressive.

Who are the top American colts he will face?

Harris has a Seaside colt in Lexington and Burke has Frantic Hanover other than them I don’t see much

Feels like with Kentucky’s program coming online there has been less interaction between the top 2 year olds. I don’t even know who the top year olds are and we are knocking on September’s door.
Calendar is pushing some of this too. Metro elims are the same day as the KYSS finals. The Haughton is within 5-7 days of the NYSS finals, the PASS finals, the KYSS finals, the Ohio Breeders, and NJ Classic Finals.

KY has duel eligibility. Why race the Grand Circuit when you can race in two state programs?

Understand why the horseman are doing it - just not sure having the top ones scattered all summer is great for the sport. Obvious downstream impacts too as the top horses take all the state money

Beau reminds many (me too) of the great Somebeachsomewher e's early dominance.. a magnificent fast moving machine.
-
Very nice colt. Looks like he's doing what he's doing easy, gets over the ground very well, and looks handy. Big colt too. He obviously met a pretty weak bunch in his Nassagaweya division, but he showed up. If all goes well, he's going to the Metro and if he keeps going, maybe the BC.

That’s one nice colt
Only 65 k At Harrisburg sale

I don't see much in the way of him running the table this year...the others don't seem as good
Metro and BC wins seem more than reasonable
-
He is a very nice horse. But McClure is due for a horrible drive on him at any given race.
-
He won in 151 last night.. came away 5th pulled between the quarter and half following Jody's nice 2 year old. Cleared before the turn. Down the stretch McClure was like a statue in the sulky..except his head of course ngc3. The article that whiptherabbit posted is a good read. The horse won't leave Canada all year. OSS gold final, the metro, and the breeders crown.

I don’t think Jody’s colt can beat him but last night BM gave him no chance. Locked him in the pocket and never let him out.

That's correct, I'll give bobble credit , he stuck to the rail perfectly.. in the article he says driving that horse is like operating a robot. Effortless. The horse has never been asked yet.
-
McClure did the right thing--and moved to follow Jamiesons piece at the perfect time
in case Jody had more-he never would /could have been able to show it
having said that--the horse deserves a top driver

Agreed.. the article said that Roy was going to drive the horse originally, but he had a commitment at the Meadowlands the night of his first start. I bet he is sick about that. Bobble will probably drive him the rest of the year I would guess, since he will not leave Canada.
-
Jamieson is utilizing the same playbook on Tillthecowscomeho me as he did when they raced Santana Bluechip. Leave for position and ride the rail getting as much money behind a monster (SBSW)

The 2YOs are still developing! Look at Mr. Mamba last night at HP, 149.2! I am looking forward to the Elevation Pace for 2YOs at HP on the 19th of September! Frantic Hanover is eligible, so is Another C Note, Mamba and Richie from Indy!! That race will go a long ways toward sorting out some of the top tier 2YOs!

I sent a congrats in sound off here but it likely got buried.
Macomber acted like he didn't have a win shot which he didn't and couldn't get 2nd, what a fucking dick for lack of effort.
As far as I'm concerned, the Indiana Goats are RRD and Larry Bird. ngc3
It's gonna be fun, no, when the competition steps up, now they pay you to qualify in stakes purses races. ngc3
Clean their clock bro! ;D

Obviously a nice colt. Talented. At this point, LOL. But he certainly looks like he has the potential makings. Moore is a very sharp horseman. Excellent track record of developing and campaigning young horses. He knows what he's doing. Even if this colt was staked to everything, Moore may have kept him home anyway. The Metro and the BC are two very big dances so he'll have his shot. The Gold is no cakewalk either. I like this colt. Big, but very efficient, very well gaited, gets over the ground well. I hope he keeps going forward, develops, matures, etc.

Eeeeeeeezeee. Didn't train, wins under wraps. Paddock time and getting ready for the Metro.
Doc Moore said in the interview.....the other horses in this division are all getting better now.....it'll tighten up as the year goes along, it always does.....

When I mention Ian Moore people reply "he's a vet"...

Dr.IAN MOORE.....GREAT TRAINER

The cynics, critics, naysayers, and the like, will always say he's a vet. They have to. So was John Hayes and John Cummings. About Moore, some will point to the Jug incident and like with any incident, there's the rumors and the truth. I think he's an excellent horseman. He's also a nice guy. It's not like he's some flash in the pan, overnight success, etc. The guy is a lifer, and he's done very well, and made a great deal of progress, over the course of his career. He is well liked and well respected by his peers.

Blow it out your ass. He got caught cheating and should have lost his Vet license.

One of the best horsemen in the last 25+ years. Right there with Jimmy T., Ake S, .....mayeb could include Brett Pelling there???

Arguably; I would agree. Definitely successful. Also, Moore doesn't start out with 30 or 40, or more, babies every year. He runs a fairly small operation. I think this past winter he had about a dozen 2yo's, including some that were sent to him. He certainly produces very good results based upon the numbers.

The "he's a vet" comment came from Mohawk from someone in the business. Why does he get a free pass when this community accuses so many others?
-
A licensed veterinarian should be stripped of his license if he is caught drugging illegally. Simple as that. It is irrelevant if he is a nice guy. They are held by a code of ethics. No different than when a lawyer breaks the law and is disbarred.

Moore shouldn't get a pass. He didn't. He got fined and the horse got scratched. It was the three judges at the OH Fairgrounds that scratched the horse, not the OHRC. The fact is there was no contraband found, no drugs found, no paraphernalia, and no positive test. There was a detention barn rule/procedure violation. Under the trainer responsibility rule, the buck stops with Moore. I am sure plenty of people will say something got swept under the rug.

It is the SAME owner of Call Me Goo, the Graham Grace Stable from Virginia. Race 8: https://woodbine.com/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/free_programs/Free_Program_WOH_2025-08-29.pdf

It is, I think there's a partner or two in on this horse.
Here's the story from SC.....

No Royal Richie Doyle tonight in Leg 5? Was looking forward to a showdown with OOMM. Hope all is well with him...looks great so far. tmbz1
