Stable Notes by Mike Ahrens: Stinebaugh on This Year's 2-Year-Olds

John Stinebaugh says his 2-year-olds this year are better than last year's. Best Moonflash won her debut in a maiden at Remington 4/24. "She got away bad, was bumped both sides, and ran them down. The chart footnotes said 'Impressive' and she was," he said. Regal Eagle is another filly who raced at Remington, running second in a maiden, and John said: "she was a little sick, not a temperature but had some crud for that race." The one who is perhaps the best is Flashing My Pjs, who just missed making the Heritage Place Futurity final at Remington but is currently still there and waiting, as she is also eligible for the final. The plan after that, whether she gets in or does not, is to point toward Rainbow and All American.
