May 25th: Ripon
6f Maiden |
Made a lowish price at the Tattersalls part 2 sales but above the trainer's
normal bargain basement level.
Reviewed at the sales and rated 67 with an average chance of being a 2yo
winner at his level. Medium size and build. Rating an upper limit.
British raced (I Balding) sire now based in Germany where he's reasonably
popular. Had one 2yo winner from one runner on 2002 who was developed through
the season and won over 7-8f. No runners in 2003 and 6 moderate ones in
2004. None of the six last year rated over 68 and none won.
Dam was unraced as was her dam. Produced two minor winners from 5 previous
foals.
Trainer has had his early debuts fit and ready and has had a majority placed
with one win. As usual all but the very best of them has shown little improvement
STO+. His latest debuts have been less competitive suggesting they are
the less able and/or natural 2yos.
Trainer runs two in the race and 'veteran work rider' T. Lucas rides. The
other is ridden by his apprentice P. Mulrennan who rode the better of 'pairs'
in many early season races.
In summary might make a competitive 2yo at his level but may well need
7f. Ought to be competent FTO. Profile [56]
