Glad you are enjoying.

As for the 2yo crop -- since I am limiting myself to purchasing horses in claming races, I basically end up sitting out the early 2yo races in July and August, when pretty much everything is a Maiden Special Weight race (with no claiing possibilities). Then, for the most part, it's just proven losers who are put up for a claiming price until at least October or so, I think. I will start fishing around in the top level of claiming races around then, generaly looking for a horse who has not yet run in a race and is being given a debut in a MCl race -- that's where I have had my best luck thus far. Spin the wheel with a few $35K or $50k maiden claimers, and I might hit on one who is worth carrying into the next year as my main 3yo entry.
