Blame has got another interesting (unnamed and unraced so far) 2yo colt I've been following as well, in case you guys are interested in adding him to Equibase. He's by Blame out of Alexandra Rylee and sold for $700k at one of the sales. Alexandra Rylee is by Afleet Alex out of a Capote (by Seattle Slew) mare.
Blame and Afleet Alex are some of my favorite stallions, so I was particularly interested in this guy.
Has anyone heard anything about Far From Over? In the spring they reported that he was injured but might be back in the fall. But have not seen or heard anything.
He's expected to rejoin Todd Pletcher's barn in early February for a spring campaign. He's at WinStar now and has been galloping for a little while now. They had thought about going for the Donn but wanted to wait a little longer to make sure he was 100%. His racing manager said "He's developed really well. He seems to have made a full recovery from the injury. We're optimistic and excited to see if we can finish what we started."
Update on Blame's son, Far From Over. He is still at the farm but will be going to Todd sometime in March. If he stays healthy think this guy is going to be very good as a 4 year old. That late birthday was not to his advantage last year.
So excited for him. Hope he does well. I have loved him since he started his 3 year old season in 2015. Good luck sweet boy. Tell Johnny V to take very good care of you.

Me too. He was going to be my Derby horse. I hope he has a safe trip and shows us that he still has that ability.
