Online, probably Thursday or Friday afternoon. We\'ll include sheets for some of the others not named (as we often do) in KD Pool 1. So list your suggestions.

Would like to nominate Bahamian Squall, nominated for Triple Crown, broke maiden in
first out on Sunday in GP in a good looking (to me) effort.

Trained by David Fawkes, sired by Gone West.

Richie, this from DRF:

Trainer David Fawkes took Apriority to the Breeders' Cup last year. Now he is hoping for more of the same from his baby brother Bahamian Squall, who launched his career with a 1 1/4-length maiden special weight victory here Sunday.

Bahamian Squall, by Gone West, was being primed to launch his career last summer at Saratoga, but a minor setback forced Fawkes to alter those plans and skip the colt's 2-year-old season altogether.

"He got some inflammation in his ankles, so I just decided to stop on him," said Fawkes, who trains both Apriority and Bahamian Squall for owner-breeder Donald Dizney. "I knew he was a nice horse, so I wanted to give him the opportunity to heal completely and grow up. He certainly ran well for his first start and has the potential to move forward, since he was a little green, he switched leads late, and seemed to be looking around a little bit."

Fawkes said he is undecided where or when Bahamian Squall might return.

"He looks a lot like his brother, although he may be a little more muscular, and I'm hoping he might be able to go on a little further than Apriority," said Fawkes. "I guess a race like the Swale could be a possibility for his next start, or we could just go for the next allowance condition. We'll see."

Midnight Transfer is in the pool. Can\'t get figures on Fly Lexus Fly.  We\'ll have to wait until next time for Heavy Breathing, if at all. All the others above are noted.

Can we get My Adonis on there also

That\'s what i was thinking. This type of horse, a rank front running type who\'s an early developer isnt the type of horse who hangs around to win the Derby. 12-1 is awful short for a horse who was unrateable on the lead in his first 3 year old start.
