In July and August, the distances of the races for two year olds start to lengthen. Precocious pedigrees still rule, but we begin to see the unveiling of juveniles who will eventually prefer running two turns. Every day on this blog from now until the end of the Saratoga and Del Mar meetings, I’ll point out blue blooded babies from my Kiddie List database that are entered to race or have a series of decent works.

ON THE WORK TAB (7/16):
Belmont:
Covert Ops (Smoke Glacken - Collusion, by Broad Brush) had his fourth gate work, getting 4F in :48.54 (2/17). He’s a pretty gray colt his three year old half sibling Embezzler hasn’t started but is working at Delaware. Their dam went 0 for 3 on the track, but she’s a half sister to Champion 3 YO filly Smuggler and the dam of Salvator Mile winner Gone Astray. Covert Ops second dam is the great Champion Inside Information.
Fire On Ice (Unbridled's Song - Lost in the Storm, by Storm Cat) had a 4F work in:49.16 (5/17). The pretty gray colt’s half sister is unplaced in two starts, but their unraced dam is a half sister to Champion Sprinter Squirtle Squirt.

She’s a half sister to multiple graded stakes winner Criminologist, who set a NCR at Saratoga for 1 1/8 miles over the turf. A half brother, Rescue Squad is stakes placed. Her dam is G3 stakes placed and a full sister to stakes winner Manoa, dam of Spinster Stakes (g1) heroine Carriage Trail. The second and third dams are stakes winners.

State Flag (Street Cry (IRE) - Salute, by Unbridled) worked 4F in :49.33 (6/17) in his third gate work. He hails from racing royalty, but so far, neither of his half siblings have made it to the races. His dam won one of eight starts and placed in the Demoiselle (G2). She’s a daughter of the great Personal Ensign and is a half sister to BC Juvenile Fillies Champ My Flag, and sires Miner’s Mark, Our Emblem and Traditionally.
