The State of the State of TheStable.ca's 2026 Two-Year-Olds
Quote from Lonnie on June 24, 2026, 2:52 PMThings are certainly heating up across the country with the two-year-olds making their debuts. Lots of action all over the place.
I figured I would start this thread for a general discussion on how TheStable.ca's two-year-olds are faring.

Quote from Lonnie on June 24, 2026, 3:39 PMIn action today at The Meadows, My Miss Lady May was everything I could have hoped for in a first race. She has to be near the top of the two-year-olds who have debuted so far for TheStable. Her next race will be on my birthday, July 6th, where she will compete in the first leg of the New York Sire Stakes at Monticello Raceway. Be there!
Dublins Ferani, I thought, raced well. I don't think she was going to close into that fast last half, and she looked just as strong going under the wire as she did at any point in the mile.
The other four starters this afternoon at The Meadows didn't show a lot. In the third race, neither Dame Hanover (a seemingly an unforced break) nor Incredible (tired badly in the stretch) looked good.
Yesterday at Oak Grove, no one impressed me. Some thoughts:
- Cirrus didn't show anything, and I think he will be turned out per Anthony's video if I remember correctly.
- Anthony used Boitano really hard to get to the first quarter, which went in 28.1. He paid the price.
It's too early to cast any overall grades. Let's hope that they continue to develop and improve as the weeks turn into the months and the dog days of summer.

Quote from Purple Aura on June 24, 2026, 5:08 PMOur Midwest babies seem to have a lot riding on Loooooooooooou and Bella Dayle in the Next Generation. If one of them is first or second it will be good for the group. If we pitch a shutout that night. Yikes.

Quote from Rogie1977 on June 25, 2026, 12:58 PM4% of Boitano, 2% of Dublins Ferani here.
Anthony referenced sending Boitano back to the fairs, I hope he has second thoughts there. I know half the field broke and that enabled Boitano to end up 4th, but in doing so he qualified to race in the next leg of the KYSS-it's tiered at Oak Grove, 1st leg 40K, 2nd leg 60K, 3rd leg 80K. He's in good hands at Oak Grove, hope they give Boitano one more shot in that series.
Re Dublins Ferani, I thought she went a nice mile against against a nice Filly in that Meadows Pop Up leg yesterday....I hope he puts Dublins Ferani in the Next Generation, with the right trip she could do some damage.
