Some 2yo to note

Well at least the blog has found some winners, however that goes down as my worst ever Ebor Festival.
Zaaki came good in the Strensall Stakes coming with his customary strong finish after being keen early on. Eminence couldn't pick up in what was a muddling Melrose as they went quick early only to slow the pace during the mid part of affairs making it a bit of a sprint to the line. In The City Of York Stakes Sir Dancealot probably showed he was still feeling the effects of a run on softy 7 days previously, Laurens and Shine So Bright set a blistering gallop but surprisingly they didn't come back to the field and set a course record.
I should not have placed the bet as there were too many possibilities and I was influenced by some comments from connections, so that must be cut out in future.
At Royal Windsor Jamie Spencer brought Desert Encounter from the back to win cosily in what was a strongly run race.
Periodically I will post on some 2yo from recent races that I think are worth noting. The first ones are below.

Coming with a late run after the penny dropped in a Bath maiden on Wednesday was Tommy Rock, he was sent off favourite for the race but blew his chances early on. He will learn from the experience.
Two days later at Goodwood in a 1m Novice race there was an impressive winner in Volkan Star but the well beaten 2nd Hold Fast made up ground late on and along with 3rd Oslo was well clear of the rest. Hold Fast is bred to stay further but should pick up a race soon and Oslo looks one to note, he battled with the winner for a while despite being too keen early on. At the same meeting Qaadim came with a catching late run to grab 2nd spot, trained by Roger Varian he looks one to note and should be capable of progress.
That evening Cosmic Power had his 2nd run and again ran a little green, but the penny dropped and he came with a late burst to pass every horse bar the winner, he should soon win.
