This young fellow is Diplo. He is a California bred gelded son of Pleasant Tap out of the Polish Numbers mare Blackjack Angel. He will be training and racing in Southern California in the Doug O'Neill barn. Some friends and I kicked in to buy a small (10%) part of him. In fact, technically this isn't even a GRS purchase, just four dopes buying a piece of a racehorse.
In his very short career, Diplo has a record of 3 starts with a second and a third and just a shade under $7,000 in earnings. He has bounced around a bit from barn to barn and hopefully with some time off - he has been turned out since October - and the steady hand of O'Neill at the helm, he can strut some stuff for us. Time will tell. He's still a young one and has some learning to do - hopefully it won't be too big a curve! I'll keep you all posted.

very cute! and hopefully he'll do well for you!
He's gorgeous! Good luck with him :)
I'm considering a similar "investment" just waiting to the other guy to say ok and we're in for a fractional share of a dream.
Fantastic. Wonderful pedigree and I'm sure Doug O'Neill and Company will do right by him.
