Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
March 29th: Entered for
Warwick 5f
Maiden Fillies' (E)
  • Cheap price for sales and in trainers usual range.
  • First Season Sire only ran at 7f as 2yo. Made moderate impression at sales. B2yoR reviewed 8 of his yearling sales and most were moderate including those that sold for more than this one.
  • Dam raced in (Ir). Has produced one runner who rated around 50.
  • Trainer gets his modest 2yos ready early but debut runs are uncompetitive. Already had one poor run (last) in first race of the season.
  • In summary has the profile to be a 50ish rated 2yo and wont be ready to tune to that given the trainer's methods.  Profile [34]
  • March 29th : 
    Warwick Post Race
  • Was backed from 10/1 to 13/2 late on in a race in which a number of runners shortened as the two favourites drifted. 
  • She was outpaced behind the too quick pace (a good thing in the circumstances) and kept on best of those adrift at halfway to chase the winner. 
  • Performed above profile and a relatively good debut by trainer standards (he has now had two solid debut runs in 2005). Likely to improve further and should develop to 60+ on this performance. Estimate [55]
  • Her First season sire had the second and the last in the race.
  • April 13th: Declared for 
    Beverley 5f Auction
  • Ran well above expectations FTO and that form looks better given  the later performances of Stephanies Dream (3rd and 3rd in Brocklesby since), Local Fancy (winner since) & Lake Hero (winner in a poor race since).
  • Trainer's runners usually develop from debut run.  Profile [62]
  • May 12th:  Carlisle
    5f Maiden
  • 4/1 fourth favourite at Beverley and a good draw in 13. Broke slightly slowly and lost a length and settled on the rail 4 lengths behind a solid pace at halfway. Switched left off the rail to plug on past moderate types to an uncompetitive third. Estimate [56]
  • The trainer's 2yos have not shown the normal improvement STO in 2005 (other than the seller winner Blue Minx) and this one has had a break since STO. Interesting to see how much she improves.  Profile [65]
  • May 27th: Brighton
    6f Maiden
  • Ran a similar race at Carlisle last time as previously. 7/1 and able to track the average pace but unable to make progress after halfway and outpaced and plugged on slowly for 4th  Estimate [54]
  • Trainer's runners have not shown the normal development for the most part in 2005. She has now run three similar races at 5f  and showed just a minimal plugging on late in the race. A number of newcomers finished better than she did at Carlisle. Steps up to 6f but looks to lack the pace for this track.  Profile [54 + 5 = 59]
  • June 17th: York
    6f Fillies' Group 3
  • 8/1 at Brighton and finished 3rd after being outpaced on firm going  at halfway and plugging on up the hill.  Estimate [58]
  • June 2nd 4/1 at Hamilton over 6f on GS. Won from a runner beaten in a seller on debut.  Estimate [57]
  • Trainer has run poor to moderate fillies in the race previously.  Profile [63]
