June 20th: Windsor
6f Auction |
Made a lowish price at the Tattersalls Ireland sales.
Little used sire has a decreasing number of 2yo runners in Britain and
no winner in 2004. Before that he got a few 6f+ wins.
Well related dam did not race. Her previous foal sold slightly better than
this one and a poor 2yo.
Second runner of the season for a younger trainer who seemed to change
his 2yo strategy a little in 2004. Until 2003 he rarely had strong debuts
(none placed in 2003) and 2yo racing was a development for 3yo career in
most cases.
In 2004 with a batch of better 2yos 5 of the first 6 debuts made a place
with the best of them winning at 14/1. In line with his previous methods
the SPs were mostly 12/1 or longer.
The first runner in 2005 made a poor debut at 16/1 in a moderate Bath race.
