Summer means an increased focus on 2-year-olds, most notably at some of the country's most prominent meets.
Each week, we'll look at a race of interest to those looking for horse racing's next rising stars.
The Paulick Report 2-Year-Old Spotlight, presented by Stonestreet Bred & Raised, is hosted this week by bloodstock editor Joe Nevills.
On this week's episode, Nevills looks at Friday's opener at Saratoga Race Course, a 5 1/2-furlong turf maiden special weight.
Among the horses of interest in the field is a colt from the first crop of Spendthrift Farm's Omaha Beach, who is projected to have a major say in this year's freshman sire race. Though he was a multiple Grade 1 winner on dirt, Omaha Beach has the back class and pedigree to suggest his runners could be dual-surface threats. We'll know more after Friday's race.
