2YO Racing

[Baz (NZ) 1,722]

Always an exciting time of the season when the baby's step out for the first time and particularly the ones by first season sires.
Race 2 at Ellerslie on Saturday is the first 2yo race for the 2020/21 season featuring progeny of new sires Puccini & Turn Me Loose.
I'm also looking forward to the Belardo's hitting the track.

BELARDO won on good/firm on his debut but generally ran much better on soft or heavy ground which is little surprise as a son of Lope de Vega. Up here he's started really well with the fillies - he's had a Group 3 winner in ISABELLA GILES who romped home by 7 lengths on soft ground at Goodwood and a Group 3 placed in LULLABY MOON.

Agree Baz , love it when the 2yo's come out , i notice the start of 2yo racing has started a month later which is something i have been advocating for many years . I wouldn't even mind if it went back another couple of weeks , we are not really a 2yo producing country . The fields were usually very small so hopefully there will be a few more numbers about .

Watched the first of the Aussie 2yo races at Flemington yesterday , the winner was very impressive , fantastic action , wouldn't be surprised to see him in the big action later in the season .
