Keep an eye out for this one Concur, he's in the barn of D'Amato and is suppose to be a real nice 2 yo. He's owned by the same connex that owned Obviously.

He's entered on Saturday at SA in race 2 going, 5.5F over the main.
Nice ML of 4/1 also.
TAP is skipping the BC Juvy with Montauk. He would've added plenty speed and would've been a pace threat for Bolt. I've got my eye on a LONG SHOT for the BC juvy. I'm hoping to get around 20/1 on this live runner. Stay Tuned!
Brutal scant nose loss at 5/1, I'll take the $6.80 on the place. Could've been nice score on my end. Money Mike gets me once again. Get to work on the BC, some nice scores coming in two weeks. I'm on it in a big way. Plenty good nuggets on some live runners!!!
I was just talking with someone and inside the TAP connex, they are OVER THE TOP on this colt. They think he's one of the BEST 2YO they had in many years and they are going to take their time with him. He won't be pushed like other TAPs in the past. He's a legit runner.
Montauk already in Florida, to focus on 3-year-old campaign
Montauk, the impressive debut winning 2-year-old, has been shipped to south Florida and will focus on a 3-year-old campaign, trainer Todd Pletcher said Friday.
Montauk, a son of Medaglia dOro, won his debut at Belmont on Oct. 7 by 11 1-4 lengths, running seven furlongs in 1:22.97 and earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 87. After briefly being considered for the Breeders Cup Juvenile, the ownership group _ which includes Robert LaPenta, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Twin Creeks Racing _ decided to skip that race and focus on trying to get the horse to the Florida Derby on March 31 and then, hopefully, the Kentucky Derby.
Montauk was nominated to the Grade 2, $200,000 Nashua Stakes, a one-turn mile race at Aqueduct, on Nov. 5.
We felt like in recent years the Nashua [and] Remsen havent proven to be key prep races for the objectives we hopefully have for him, Pletcher said. We felt like we wanted to keep him fresh and kind of work our way back from the May target and felt like the best way to do that was to focus down there.
Ill fade this one, but think youre right about the Mandela, and obviously McKinzie, names after one of Bobbys best friends has upside. #homer
Mo Town cruised as anticipated but Concur, only can mange 2nd again. Cost me a BIG DOUBLE!!
Taking the Always Dreaming road so far...,,
Merry Xmas boys. Good luck.
She came back yesterday and won the Glitter Woman at 3/1 and I played against her. UGH!!
He's back in today in the nightcap at The Great Race Place over the weeds, listed at 5/2 on the ML. Just an FYI for all.
Well.....
