Along The Rails

As it’s never too soon to start concentrating on mint juleps and all that come with them, Steve Haskin over at BloodHorse.com revs up for post- Sunshine Millions season with his pre-Derby Dozen.  He lists a healthy handful of young’ins to watch in the run up to the Roses.  But it’s a qualified list, addressing only colts who haven’t showed up in the gates of a stakes and are also maiden or allowance winners. 

And if have the mind of a twelve year old boy, which tend to do at exactly the wrong times, you’ll be pleased to know that the nominees include horses named Shafted and Well Positioned. Awesome.
