I laughed a lot when I saw The Green Monkey's name.

[jennywho]

Too funny SG, I'm a Majestic Warrior fan myself.

[Allspice]

^ Poor Monkey, it's not his fault two groups got into a pissing match over him.

I wish Gottcha Gold was listed instead though. He at least actually won graded stakes.

My votes:
Big Brown
Circular Quay
Heatseeker
Henrythenavigator
Red Giant

[serenassong]

For me:

Big Brown
Harlington
HenrytheNavigator
Lewis Michael
Midnight Lute

[Tappiano]

I voted for my baby's daddy.

STREET BOSS!! Whats not to like? He probably has more 2yos than anyone on the list, was a fast 2yo himself and has sired some athletic looking horses. Hes the runaway winner

[halo]

Street Boss didnt run until September of his 3 year old year.

I wish The Green Monkey the best of luck at stud.

He can't help the price that was paid for him. Here's to hoping he does in the breeding shed what he couldn't do on the track.

He certainly was a gorgeous pony though.

I voted for:

Heatseeker
Into Mischief
Midnight Lute
Showing Up
The Green Monkey

Gotta pull for The Monkey! And I REALLY do.

[Sheepish]

I wish everyone would vote Green Monkey, would be interesting to see how he does.

I think Derby was thinking of Street Hero.

I think I'll put him on my list: Street Hero, Henrythenavigator, Midnight Lute, Raven's Pass, Divine Park.

[Epiphany]

Midnight Lute
Curlin
Big Brown
Raven's Pass
Henrythenavigator

This is just a vote to follow, not a pick for who will have the best break out early 2 yr old runners in 2012.

[Diver52]

Yeah, I'm not really expecting much from Lute--with his pedigree I doubt he got the best mares. I'm just hoping he pulls a Tiznow

I only picked Divine Park because he's on the back cover of the last Stallion Register I have, and the ad says he can't miss.

Oh, Lute might hit this year. He was actually precocious enough for a large horse, but his throat hindered him after surgery. He got a good full book of mares in 2009, he was well priced in a value focused market with good breeders behind him. And Baffert didn't name his twitter feed Midnight Lute for nothing.

[Catalina]

Curlin
Midnight Lute
Henrythenavigator
Nobiz Like Shobiz
Raven's Pass

[Diver52]

I remember seeing ML win at Del Mar at 2, but it seemed more sheer talent than real precocity. But we shall see and I know Baffert steered some of his owners in that direction.

[TBird]

The ones I'n interested in never seem to get picked so I hope I don't jinx it for the rest of you! I voted for:

Big Brown
Curlin
Midnight Lute
Street Boss
Tizwonderful
