Dublins Ferani and Next Generation?

#1 · June 20, 2026, 2:03 PM

I don't think going with the second choice is wise. Sure she qualified well but so did a number of other Ohio breds from other stables. You only have to look at the Delaware qualifiers.

You'll need to trot sub :56 probably to be competitive. Which means she'll need to go :57-:58 in her prep. I'd rather not see a repeat of Uncle Danny or Super Mind or another Next Gen starter Cadeau, who did all he could in the race, and never reached his potential.

Decent mile today. Probably not enough for the Next Generation. I'm sure in his eyes it's enough to go forward.

@purple-aura

It was a good mile. I am not going to get deep into the weeds but would it be terrible to just let her come along slowly? @gwchrome really said it nicely above. And while she did trot in 58 and change, it was a pressed effort. Good luck to everyone with her in Ohio this season.

It was a pretty stiff second half she couldn't have closed into. I thought Dublin's Ferani raced well and finished fine. You're probably right about the Next Generation, though.

I'm sure it's probably enough in Anthony's eyes. She raced well and probably went all she could today but doesn't look Next Gen worthy.

As Anthony likes to say: "We should have some fun with her this year". Throwing her into the deep end won't do her any good. Look at how Kentucky went yesterday.

I'd like to see her start in the Buckeye and maybe develop into a Sweet On Pete.

Congratulations to the connections on Dublins Ferani’s Buckeye win. The BSS is a good spot for her, and she should have a nice year.

She raced well. They've had four divisions of the BSSFT so far hers is third fastest. Did it seemingly easy enough. One start at in the OSS at Northfield. Hopefully the rest of her races in the BSS. Make the final there and the OSS consolation. I do see the comparison Anthony made to My Jazz.

Prediction. No way they race Monday. High of 98 and the air truly sucks. I golfed yesterday early. When I left the moon was more orange than the sun. WTF?? I went to Northfield a few years ago to watch and the races were cancelled because of the air. Didn't really notice it then, but understood. It's very noticeable now. Not going. Fool me once.......
