Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 20th: Nottingham
6f Maiden
  • Owner bred by K. Abdulla.
  • By good sire that has a solid (if unexciting) record with 2yos. Ok for getting 6f winners from May onwards and also for debut wins.  
  • Dam quite well related and a 7-8f winner in France.
  • First 2yo runner of the season for an organised and consistent trainer that takes 2yo reasonably seriously. Has had a variable number of 2yo runners and winners over the last five seasons. A prime factor in this variability is that around two thirds of the 2yos he runs are owner breds. 
  • This is a later start than normal as he normally runs a few 2yos in April-May. The earliest runners in each season are normally chosen as competitive 2yos at some level, including higher class types like Three Valleys (2003) & Pike Bishop (2004). The earliest filly runners ahve included some limited owner breds (usually on the small side).
  • He does not target FTO wins and runners tend to be around 8-16lbs below their best on debut. The FTO wins usually come along with the useful or superior runners, sometimes in combination with a moderate race. FTO SP is not a consistent indicator of FTO performance nor ability. 
  • Runners normally improve 2-14lbs on their second run. Those given longer breaks can improve more. 
  • June 20th: Nottingham
    Post Race
  • Opened 6/1 and a little support to 5/1. Ducked at the Winning Post on way to start (first down alone) and dropped jockey. Cantered the wrong way around the course for a 10f and then caught. Jockey remounted and cantered him halfway to the start. [Jockey made the point that they would typically canter 8f before a training gallop.]
  • Drifted out to 12/1 because getting loose but ran professionally enough and won quite comfortably and looked an above average type.
