The new year is upon us and we're a month away
from the beginning of the road to the Triple Crown. There were incredible
performances from two-year-olds in 2001 highlighted by the Breeder's Cup
Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies.
There are many ways of analyzing pedigrees of
thoroughbreds and everyone believes that there way is most unique. Here is my
breakdown of some of the top two-year-olds of the year. Also, there is a
breakdown of the top finishers in the 2001 Derby and winners in recent years.
I hope you enjoy my outlook and please send
all comments to remosabe@yahoo.com.
Pedigree Rating = The higher, the better.
Distance = The distance which I believe that this horse can compete in top
competition.
Turf Rating = The higher, the better chance the horse will take to the grass.
Dosage Points = The sum of dosage points from different horses involved in this
horse's ancestors.
Ky Derby = Whether this horse can win the Derby?
