17.08.11

Analysis:

3. GOODTIME BOY (Stonesider - Babyifurgoodtogo, by Elusive Quality, February 6, 2009) is by a juvenile debut sprint winner (1-1, 25K, 1-1 at two, 1-1 sprinting) that is 0-19 with juveniles from his first crop of 2011. The dam, a $100,000 yearling, was a winner (4-22, 75K, 2-15 sprinting) and this is her first starter. The third dam is stakes-winner Dynanite (6-13, 103K). Trainer Carlos Martin is 0-1 over the past five years with second-time juveniles dropping from maiden special weights in statebred maiden claiming dirt sprint (0-1 at Saratoga). Hopped at the start of his debut on July 24 and was forced to rally over a sloppy, speed-favoring track. Barn has sent out some live babies at this meet.

6. READTHEBYLINE (Read the Footnotes - Seattle Byline, by Slew City Slew, April 28, 2009, $3,500 Fasig-Tipton Select October yearling; Out Fasig-Tipton Spring April juvenile) is by a multiple Grade 2 route winner (5-8, 450K, 4-5 at two, 2-2 sprinting) that is 28-202 (14%) with juveniles. The dam, a $22,000 yearling, was a winner (5-44, 63K, 0-10 at two, 1-16 sprinting) and has foaled 4 winners from 6 runners (1-5 with juveniles, 4-5 with sprinters). Readthebyline is a half-brother to stakes-winner The Holy One (5-11, 138K, 1-2 at two, 2-4 sprinting). The dam is a half-sister to stakes-winning juvenile Lt. John (9-37, 75K, 2-4 at two), multiple stakes-winner Writin' Mama (15-58, 317K, 2-8 at two, 0-1 sprinting), and stakes-placed turfer Little Mandy (1-10, 11K, 1-2 at two). Trainer Richard Schosberg is 0-4 over the past five years with second-time juveniles dropping from maiden special weights in statebred maiden claiming dirt sprints (0-1 at Saratoga). Broke slowly in debut, was steadied early and then was steadied again when in between horses entering the far turn. Failed to make up ground over a speed-favoring track and was pretty late to change leads in the stretch. Should fit better at this level.
