Meant to be, I guess. I'm surprised it wasn't already taken as well.

I keep hearing how good-looking this colt is; does anyone have any photos to share?

This was him as a yearling, if he's grown into anything close to Honor Code... hubba hubba

This is him in June of this year.

Thanks for the photos -- he is indeed a nice-looking colt.

I vote Morse Code to be a huge bet against. Shug just DOES NOT win with first timers.

Morse Code closed from center of the track to nab second over big favorite Rally Cry. He definitely runs like big brother!

I was pleased with his effort. Chart states that coming out of the gate, was bumped by the winner. Looking forward to next time out.

He does look alot like his older half brother- but seems to have a smaller frame than HC.

Ami's Mesa looks like a filly to keep an eye on. She won the Glorious Song S. impressively at Woodbine today in her 2nd start. Ivan Dalos and Josie Carroll have two very nice 2-year-olds from that female family - Ami's Mesa and Ami's Gizmo.

She's a half sister to Ami's Holiday and Victory Exchange.

Giant Cruiser, 2 yo filly, Giant Oak - Lemon Cruiser by Lemon Drop Kid, won the Louisiana Jewel Stakes today. Is this the Oakster's first stakes winner?

Leontes is a handsome colt. I hope he continues to find success.

Right?! Look at all that black type. That is some very blue blood there.

Leontes is stunning! Looks so much like his dam, whose win in the American Oaks made me a lifetime fan. I love the fact that he has no white on him (that I can see). A horse that handsome needs no 'bling.'

"She is, indeed, Rachel Alexandra the GREAT!" Will 1/2 bro Dolphus inspire chills? He debuts in R6 @fairgroundsnola!

Old Bones · Sun Nov 22, 2015 6:30 pm

Loved hearing that reference to Rachel Alexandra. And little brother wins his debut!

BaroqueAgain1 · Sun Nov 22, 2015 7:23 pm

Sounds like he put in a very nice performance. Unfortunately, it looks like TVG still isn't carrying the signal from the Fairgrounds, so I wasn't able to see the race.

I wish one of these sites would show a photo of the colt, instead of just running a picture of his big sis.
