Interesting performance by FTS 2YO at Saratoga yesterday

If you get a chance, check out the replay of the first race at Saratoga yesterday, a MSW for 2 year olds. The winner was Jonathan's Way (#6).  He got squeezed back to last at the start then started to make a run before entering the turn.  Like most horses with a bad start I thought that he would pack it in but he just kept coming going maybe six wide into the stretch and pulled away in good time. No knowing what was behind him but it was very visually impressive.

Thanks.  I looked at their records last night and Vekoma won the Blue Grass as well as those named in the pedigree.  The dam's racing career was non-descript but as your pedigree shows she has had six winners from 6 starters,

Vekoma has been very impressive thus far into his freshman season.
