[QUOTE=Grits and Hard Toast]  
Sweetsouthernkitty continues to impress all who meet her. She is the “pack leader” and without her being pushy or bossy, she bends the others to her will. This could come in handy on the track, as some horses can give the others “the eye” which causes the others to back down at let the natural leader take or keep the lead.

That’s muh girl 😉

Should Sweetsouthernkitty do well, which we expect as this point, ( no one ever committed suicide with an unraced two year old in the barn…) she could be running anwhere from Saratoga in New York to Santa Anita in California, for the big races. So until we have reason to think differently, we can dream. 🙂 And for now it is a “when” not “if” on the Winner’s Circle photo, so you will most definately get one!

Cheers! I’ll keep an eye out for her on the West coast and would love to see her run!

Cool! Be sure to let us Bluegrass dopers know if they’re at CDX or KEE, because any excuse to get to the track is a good one. 🙂

Yes, please do this.

Dang, we’re probably neighbors or something.

This looks like fun!

1. Van Nistlerooy - Copra by Jade Hunter filly – **Ms Van Nootjager** \<–means “nut hunter” in Dutch. 😛

2. Powerscourt - French Reign by Miswaki colt - **Frog Power** , **Reign of Frogs** , **Reigning Frogs** , **Its Reigning Frogs** Hmmm, I’m sensing a theme here…

3. Pembroke - Northern Streak by Lucky North colt – **Ink Streak** Because the pen broke, see?

4. Act of Duty - Conway Kitty by El Prado filly – **Kitty Wears Prada** , \*\* Way Of Duty\*\*

5. Great Pyramid - Charming Mom by Arch filly–Would you believe **Nefertiti** isn’t taken? I’m sure she was somebody’s charming mom…

6. Full Mandate - Claire’s Jade by Jade Hunter colt – \*\* Full Metal Jade, Jade Fiat, Claire’s Decree, Green Light Hunter\*\* \<–the thesaurus is our friend! I never knew there were so many synonyms for “mandate!”

I’m trying to pretend I’m being all helpful and stuff, but I’m just a slut for pics of purty horsies…

How very cool. Beautiful horses, too! I’ll give it a (probably lame) try. . .

Van Nistlerooy - Copra by Jade Hunter filly – **Copper Vanity**

Powerscourt - French Reign by Miswaki colt – **Reign Coat**

Pembroke - Northern Streak by Lucky North colt – **Prince [Percival](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percival_Pembroke)** (with props to **Spiny Norman** for the reference)

Act of Duty - Conway Kitty by El Prado filly – **ProudKittyContact**

Yeah, that last one was kindof a stretch. I think I’ll give up for now and maybe try the last 2 later.

Not a suggestion for any colt in particular, but I like “Mane Squeeze”, especially for an animal expected to be a good stud horse.
