Title: New 3 Year Old on the Scene!
Post by: Dana666 on January 05, 2015, 08:02:34 AM
EXODUS, a Larry Jones runner broke his maiden yesterday at Fairgrounds. This is a very impressive colt, one to keep on your Triple-Crown-Trail radar screens! I would expect him to run in the big Fairgrounds Stakes races in the next few months. He\'s got some catching up to do for sure, but this is a  year where I think up and coming three-year-olds may be better than the brutes we\'ve already seen. So many have matured so fast already. I wonder where they\'ll be by the time the Derby rolls around? Sometimes these long campaigns take their toll. This also appears to be a very deep crop of three-year-olds. One of the best I\'ve seen in a long time.

Just saw Exodus had 2 starts, no Apollo factor!

Exodus actually ran a fast fig, bred nice.

Roger that Mike but all three starts have been six panels and he has run off in each of them.  LJ had good spacing into a mile and seventy heat and a work pattern that would have fit, but LJ entered a firster (that went favored and faltered).  Not sure this $600K son of Medaglio D\'Oro will rate, yet his mom could sure run!  New book out next week and we\'ll see if he is pointed to a two-turner where he surely would be the pace and maybe... settle a bit.  bbb
