Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
March 19th: Entered for - 
Lingfield 5f (AW) 
Conditions Race (D1)
  • Made solid price at sales. Above average for his sire.
  • First Season Sire trained by D. Loder in (Fr) and made early debut and won over 5.5f. B2yoR rated 8 of his yearlings at sales and these were mostly moderate.
  • 2nd foal and first runner for a dam who showed very poor form over 7f-10f although by a sprint sire. Dam was a later foal of a dam that produced 9 previous winners.
  • Trainer tends to identify his 2yos capable of early wins before the season starts and that is a big plus point for this one entered this early.
  • Trainer's debut runners in March tend to place but not quite be ready to win.
  • In summary doubts about dam's influence but probably best to trust the trainer who selects early runners with care. Profile [63]
  • March 27th:
    Entered for 
    Musselburgh 
    5f Maiden
  • Did not run at Lingfield, either not declared or balloted out.
  • Comments and profile from Lingfield race still valid.
  • Trainer often uses the course for very early season runs. Had his best 2yo in 2003 beaten into 2nd in this race at 4/6 fav for example. That runner looked the winner until fading in the last half furlong and proved to be better than the runner-up.
  • DECLARED FOR THIS RACE.
  • March 28th:
    Entered for
    Redcar 5f Maiden
  • Has been entered for 2 previous races.
  • Trainer has three entries in the race and had competitive 60s winner (on STO) finish second in race in 2004 at 2/1jf.
  • March 27th:
    Entered for 
    Musselburgh 
    5f Maiden - POST RACE
  • Trainer's first runner of the season and was steady around 8/1 although finished 7/1. 
  • She looked a neat type on TV pictures but not notable strong. She travelled OK in the first part of the race and was showing some response for pressure when getting slightly cut-off on the rail. 
  • She probably wouldn't have reached the first three though. Performed below expectations partly because of the bump but also probably because she isn't as good as the runners the trainer has had in the race previously. Estimate [37]
  • April 14th: Ripon
    5f Maiden
  • Trainer has not got going with his 2yos yet and has had only three moderate debut runs. This is his first STO run.
  • The race that she ran in on debut looks better now with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th winning minor races since. Expect a solid improvement here.  Profile [57]
  • May 27th: Catterick
    5f Auction Fillies'
  • 4/1 at Ripon on soft ground. 3rd place 2F from home but faded badly from there. Estimate [21]
  • Long break from STO and visored first time. Trainer had his first 2yo winner 4 days ago with a filly on debut. Profile [45 + 3 = 48]
  • June 10th: Catterick
    5f Novice
  • Blinkered and 11/1 here LTO in a poor to moderate race. Broke well and always travelling best. A neck off the leader and went clear from 1.5f out. Estimate [54]
  • Trainer had made a slow start to the season and the four early debut runenrs ran moderately. Her win came four days after a rare debut winner for him and was the first of a sequence of wins where the early debuts all won in a period of 10 days. Trainer's early debuts tend to show moderate improvement after winning.  Pofile [58 + 7 =65]
