KEENLAND 2007: Two year Olds In Training (Sale)

IEAH purchased Big Brown at 2007 Keeneland April Two Year Old in Training sale, Hip 21, and, before I get back to Dutrow and Michelle Nevin, here's a quick look at the OTHER graduates of that sale.

What sort of horseflesh will $100-500,000 get you these days? Or, just as interesting, what results from these presumably first class pedigrees? Are these other buyers similar to IEAH now able to smile like the chesier cat over their hips? Here they are:

Training:
Sat. 5/18 the next cycle begins. Both colts riderless 4 x 1f pretty much full tilt. This was after warm up and with some warm down. 5f were planned, but called it after 4 because they were going faster than planned. They carried the speed the full 1f each time. I figured that's enough for the immature two year old, and indeed he was carrying slight cannon heat from the hard ground afterward. Passed on tack work afterward to avoid overdoing. Good work for us.
