Spa Babies
Saratoga opens Friday, and that means some very well bred, very high-priced, and very interesting juveniles will be running, such as this one (DRF+):
Perhaps the most intriguing colt on the grounds from a pedigree standpoint is Brooklyn Bobby, trained by Brian Lynch. Brooklyn Bobby, named in honor of the late Bobby Frankel, is a son of the undefeated European champion Frankel out of the Grade 1 winner Balance, who is a half-sister to Zenyatta. Brooklyn Bobby has worked well on dirt and had a decent work on turf this week.
Lynch said Brooklyn Bobby could debut on turf Aug. 6.
“He’s the sort of a horse if he was guy, you’d want to hang out with him because he’s a cool, cool horse,†Lynch said. “He’s got a great demeanor, and he’s very unexcitable. He seems to take everything in.â€
Frankel is off to a good start as a sire, with seven winners from nine runners through July 11: “The verdict so far is favourable. Mostly.”
The Saratoga juveniles spreadsheet will return this year (the 2015 edition.)
