I suspect that his Curlin colt has been named after the Harley-Davidson's Shovelhead engine.Ziggypop wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 11:26 amOdd name for a horse he has, “Shovelhead”.tachyon wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:49 amHe will be pointed to the Ivy Stakes 1800m turf at Tokyo on Oct 24th next.tachyon wrote: ↑Sat Aug 01, 2020 11:19 pm Wow!!

Kazuo Fujisawa (Vanishing Point's trainer) said yesterday:
''I asked the owner (Yuji Hasegawa) to purchase this colt a year ago as my dream was to win the Kentucky Derby.
We will race him next in the Ivy Stakes on the turf again. But I would love to go the Kentucky Derby with him next year.''

2019 dkb/br filly by Deep Impact. It doesn't look like she had a foal in 2020, though she had been bred to Heart's Cry.

I thought Kelsey is a good trainer but someone else said that if the horse wants a prayer of having a good career she needs a new barnHB1994 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 3:52 pmBroke slow and finished 8th.HB1994 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 8:16 pm Gladys, a full sister to Rachel Alexandra, makes first start

"Gladys" is a Welsh name (sometimes spelled Gwladys, which is even worse). It may be the Welsh version of the Latin Claudia. One name information site a google search pulled up amusingly comments that "Gladys" was the "Harper" of 1900, emerging out of nowhere to take the baby-name world by storm. Apparently the owner's grandmother's parents were part of that enthusiasm.
