I’ve had a fair few 2yo runners this year, but all of them have been horses that Tom D bought intending to sell on and I ended up keeping a piece, or in the case of Van Go Go a home bred. I bought three yearlings at the sales last year - two fillies and a colt. The fillies (Nayef ex Princess Luna and Selkirk ex Rose of Petra) are still to be named - neither is that close to a run.
The colt (Dalakhani ex Everlasting Love) has been named Daliance - he hasn’t done much on the gallops but I think he could be really nice. He didn’t look much to start with but he has come on incredibly well - the pictures below were taken on Dec 1, May 5 and Jun 9;

I part own Daliance in a syndicate which includes David O’Reilly of Betfair. It has been a joy to witness this scrawny red haired creature that we invested in evolve and grow to a point where he is being considered a candidate at the highest level. And of course it is a great privilege to own a horse with him.

Great to see your old boy Winker Watson back in training and having another go at the July Cup. His win there in 2007 must have been the greatest day for the Comic Book Heroes and wouldn’t it be terrific to see him do well again? I see he’s running in the colours of the Norman Court Stud but presume you still have an interest so best of luck with him!
