Chad Brown unveils a pair of imposing-looking firsters who appear to have been working in company for this sprint spot.

Indy), who is a half to SW/GISP/G1SP Marino Marini (Storm Cat). The dark bay's second dam is GISW Halo America (Waquiot). Long Haul Bay (Quality Road), a homebred from Alpha Delta Stables, is a half to SW/GSP Midnight Transfer (Hard Spun) out of GSW French Satin (French Deputy). That mare is a half to MGISW Lion Heart (Tale of the Cat) and GSW Connemara (Giant's Causeway). The two colts have posted very similar workouts and shared a five-furlong bullet Jan. 20 over the Belmont training track with identical moves in 1:00 flat (1/33). TJCIS PPs
