Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
May 19th: Doncaster
6f Auction
  • Made just a solid price at the Doncaster breeze-up sales and a reasonable increase from the yearling price.
  • Sire has a poor record with 2yos and 2003-4 were moderate for both number of winners and quality. He has not had a 5f 2yo winner in Britain and has not had a 6f winner here in the last two seasons. He has only had one winner before the end of May. 
  • He had a 5f winner 2 days ago but with notable help from the dam.
  • Dam is quite well bred but has a notably stout pedigree.
  • Trainer does not target FTO wins and early debuts have not been competitive. His five debuts in 2005 have been similar although the delayed debut of Getbuzzin was backed in a muddling race.  
  • In 2004 he had a breeze-up buy for the same owner who must count as an important one for a young trainer in only his second season in 2004. That 2yo - Rubyanne - made her debut in a Novice race on May 24th and was 5/1. She lost 8 lengths at the start but got back in touch before fading in the last furlong in a tough race. She showed only minor progress in two later runs suggesting she was more forward than his average debut. 
  • Trainer has a debut runner for the same owner - Scotchman - earlier today in a Newcastle Novice.
  • In summary the pedigree looks a negative for 6f and likely to need the debut.  Profile [60 + 3 = 63]
