Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
July 11th: Windsor
6f Maiden
  • Did not reach his reserve at the breeze up sales and continued his downward arc from the high foal price (possibly linked to his name).
  • Eigth runner for a first season sire that did not race at 2yo and is by a non precocious sire himself.
  • Made a solid impression at the sales. B2yoR rated 15 of the yearlings and they were a variable group but with the better types tending to make good prices. His first four  runners were poor but he then had a good debut winner over 6f and his latest runner was a 33/1 debut winner assisted by a moderate race and a strong draw bias.
  • Dam showed poor form racing for J. Spearing and made her debut over 11f on the AW at 3yo. Her first foal, by the lesser sire Atraf, was a useful 7f winner and this seems to have affected the sales prices of the later foals who have shown moderate form.
  • Younger trainer has varied his approach with 2yos 2002-4 and seemed to have settled for later season debuts and targeting STO runs for wins (unless useful+ Like Johnny Jumpup in 2004). 
  • He has run eight on debut with two FTO winners - one in early April in a weak race and one by a useful filly in a moderate race. In general the runenrs have been competent on debut and those with ability have tended to indicate it by making the first 4.
  • In summary an interesting runner. Although the price has declined he ought to be a solid physical type and the breeeze up prepartion and later debut should mean he will be ready on debut. Form of the dam's recent foals a negative but the trainer is likely to have this one ready to compete. Well drawn next to the rail and ought to make a prominent debut if the ability is there.  Profile [68]
