Racing Summary

DATE	PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 6th: Windsor 6f Maiden	Made a solid price at the Tattersalls Part 2 sale, a reasonable increase from the foal level and good in the context of the dam's record. Third season sire made average start with his 2yos in 2003 but had a poor season with less runners and quality in 2004. He only ever won a 6f himself and his better types in 2003 were 6f winners. He has had two 5f winners in 2005 to date. Dam was one of only two unraced foals out of 14 from her own dam. She has produced one, smallish, 6f 2yo from two previous foals. Trainer does not strongly target 2yo racing and until recently only ran a few in late season. This is a more typical start date following an unsuccessful attempt at earlier debuts in 2004. He does not target strong debuts and aims for STO wins with his better types. He has had two previous debuts in the last two weeks. One was a staying on fourth at 16/1 and the other filly was an ok physical type but notably inexperienced in a 5f race and unplaced at 25/1. In summary a good sales price in context and probably indicates a solid type. A good sign he runs this early but ought to need the debut run to develop from. Well drawn in 16 next to the rail but probably unable to make use of it. Profile [53]
