Delighted to catch up with Victoria Head for a spin through her two-year-old team, with the first runner from that age group declared to run at Chantilly on Sunday. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

A look ahead on the two-year-old front sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

Year on year, Eve Johnson Houghton produces the goods with 2yos that don’t cost the world. Havana Hurricane (9k) and Zavateri (35k) the two latest examples this year. Excellent sourcing from Highflyer at auction and exemplary training from EJH.

Dreadful ride from Shoemark on Publish there at Sandown. Juddmonte need to get themselves a retained rider imo.

This week always marks the start of the nicer 7f+, late-maturing 2yos appearing. Some lovely performances in the two-year-old division today. American Queen will rightly get most attention but much to like about the way Protection Act and Radiance went about things.

A look back at some interesting performances in the two-year-old maiden/novice races of the past week. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

Some June for Australia. Some achievement by Tschierschen to produce two Royal Ascot winners in Perotto (Hunt Cup) and now Cercene. The Johnson Houghton’s grand old mare Roo keeps producing the goods through her descendants. Mohaather, Prize Exhibit, Accidental Agent et Al.

The final interview of the current series of the Two Year Old and it could a case of best until last. Andrew Balding kindly took me through no fewer than fifty of the Kingsclere two-year-old team. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

Charlie Clover hadn’t trained a winner when we spoke last week. He has now trained three in four days, including the very well placed A’Ali G to win a valuable seller at Goodwood today.

Thank you to Richard Brown for running me through his pick of Wathnan Racing’s expensively assembled two-year-old team. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

Thanks to Ed Walker for discussing his 2yo team for 2025, which includes some very strong pedigrees. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

A quickfire 2yo double for Karl Burke. He identified this race a fair way out and had high hopes for Zelaina. On the evidence of today she has every chance of emulating Leovanni at Ascot.

American Gulf becomes broodmare Mamma Morton’s 13th individual winner from 14 foals. Three stakes winners among them. Phenomenal constitution! And she still has a Mohaather yearling colt to come.

Really good to catch up with @JPOwenRacing and get his thoughts on an interesting crop of two-year-olds. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…

🗣️ "I imagine she will go straight to the Albany, and I could see her running a big race there" 📝 Notebooks at the ready! @karl_burke talks @DanBriden through his team of two-year-olds for 2025...

Really good insight from Jamie Insole on the two-year-old team at Urloxhey for 2025. sportinglife.com/racing/news/da…
