Ballydoyle 2yos 2013

Does anyone have an update on names for these?

I think trudij has a great chance with Australia. Surely he'll win his maiden the next time. I've just checked - he was the first picked.
 
All but a few named -

Thanks very much for this, Sequoyah. Don't worry, jinnyj, Terrific's name is at least positive. What about Perhaps? :blink: Mine's called Mekong River, which doesn't inspire me with a whole lot of confidence.

I notice there's a Gypsy King, which was also the name of one of Ballydoyle's really good 3yo's some years back before being fatally injured in a race. Kind of spooky.
 
No mines called Indian Maharaja! I'd be happier if they did change it to Terrific to be honest!
 
baked australlier for the derby, think its better than sea the stars persoanlly

Haven't seen any horse sprint up the straight in Gowran as quick as this fella did last night...he took off in the last two furlongs! Hopefully he'll be decent.
 
Can I have this one?
FR ex Blue Cloud - The Islander
I don't think anyone has him and unraced

When I said "Terrific - they've given mine a rubbish name" - I didn't realise they actually had named one Terrific! I just thought Indian Maharaja didn't stand a chance with a name like that. But I did watch the replay and he looks OK although race time could have been quicker. However he dumped his jockey after the line so he has a sense of humour!
 
Yeah the race time was in the same region as the mile h'cap so not too impressive on the clock. There was a slow early pace and he absolutely flew from two out, I've been to Gowran a bit and never saw a horse lengthen and quicken like he did.

He'll probably end up being a middle of the road Coolmore horse having made his debut in Gowran but we can live in hope. Best horse I've seen, in person, win his on debut was Galileo. Probably never see another that good!

Indian Maharaja makes his second start at odds on in Tipp tonight. By pitching him up in a listed race, I think that they don't rate him highly or don't know what they have yet. Hopefully the latter!
 
At least mine's got a name this year. She hasn't run yet, but it's progress. By 2018 I might have got my eye in.

"He's an exciting horse" said Joseph O'Brien after Indian Maharaja stylishly made it two from two in the Canford Cliffs Stakes at Tipperary.
 
Thought it might be fun to reflect on how our picks performed (or not) this year. The prize goes to trudij - well, no prize but kudos, esp. for getting in there first with Australia, or did someone pick War Command?

Mine was Mekong River, who, even though he was 3 for 3 (Winning his maiden officially after the first past the post was thrown out), only ran in nursery handicaps and achieved an RPR of 100 and an OR of 103. Not bad but a long way from stellar.

I'm really interested in jinnyj's choice Indian Maharajah. Has anyone heard anything about him subsequent to his win in an August Listed race?
