Jerry Hollendorfer and Doug O'Neill, off to the hottest of starts among their training brethen this meet, and Keith Desormeaux are well represented in race 9, the first male 2yo race of the meet for open runners. All three trainers have a pair of runners, with the firster Rowayton from Hollendorfer's barn the one who has gotten the most buzz.

Rowayton has the same connections as Instagrand and Brill, namely owned by OXO Equine with Drayden Van Dyke up.

I took a look at Hollendorfer's barn in a feature posted on Monday, with mention of some of his better 2yos, including Rowayton. Here's a link:

Several of the horses in this race were part of my annual, pre-meet, 2yos to watch story. As noted, Desormeaux has far more 2yos ready to run at this stage of the year than in past years, and O'Neill always is well-stocked. Here's a link to that story, which is worth hanging on to for the summer:
