Two-Year Olds
The Hole in the Wall gang consignment of two-year-olds was purchased at the October 2018 Fasig-Tipton Yearling Sale in Lexington, Kentucky.  Richard Kent of Kaizen Sales was retained to scout the sale and purchase horses that he identified as desirable prospects.  Kent has a long history as a successful bloodstock agent, having bought and sold several thousand horses in his career.  A number of those were inexpensive purchases that were later sold for large prices.
All the two-year-olds consigned by the Hole in the Wall Gang had 30 days of breaking in the fall of 2018 under the supervision of trainer Mark Cloutier.  Beginning in January they were ridden for 6 weeks, on the Canmor Farms track when the weather permitted, otherwise on the equicizer or in the arena.  They came to the track February 26 and have been galloping since.  Cloutier thinks all the two-year-olds will be capable of winning at Hastings and he singles out Desert Hills, Machine, Stay All Night and Causin’ Havoc in particular as impressing him the most to this point in all their young careers.
