Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 23rd: Leicester
5f Maiden
  • Made acceptable price at the Tattersalls Ireland sales, much higher than the dam's previous two yearlings.
  • Sire won over 6f to 8.5f and was a 6f debut winner at 2yo in the UK on May 18th. Won on dirt in UAE and US later. Has had few 2yo runners in the UK and one winner.
  • Dam was a moderate sprinter and has produced two relatively precocious 5f 2yos rating in the late 60s. 
  • The trainer does not target debut wins and only the useful+ types tend to win FTO. As a general rule his average runners improve around 12-16lb from debut. Therefore a horse capable of rating around 100 will rate around 80 on debut for example. This approach means that only the runners capable of 85+ rating in the season are likely to win on debut.
  • He has made a slow start to 2005 has had his first runners in the last ten days with expensive runners for Sheikh Mohammed's sun. He has not yet produced the normal competitive early 2yo types and this would seem a classic profile for a runner of that type.
  • In summary a solid pedigree for a 70+ earlyish sprint 2yo winner. Trainer does not target  FTO wins although earliest '2yo' type debuts often place an occasionally win. This is a slightly later start to his debuts with this type of runner. Profile [59]
  • April 23rd: Leicester
    Post Race
  • Slightly different type in a group of mainly small, heavier, early sprinters. Slightly more size although still with a solid build. A ready, neat type and notably mature, especially in front. Not a lot of scope but a likeable type that ought to be able to rate 70-75 in early to mid season although probably better for 6f than a 'pure speed' 5f. Rated 74.
  • Trainer has made a slow start to the season and his first two debut runs have been poor. He is usually a very organised and consistent trainer and the record so far suggests a possible problem - something to bear in mind in the short term. 

  • She looked an absolutely standard early type that he chooses carefully. A likeable type that ought to be able to rate just over 70 in early to mid-season but without great scope. 
    She drifted slightly from 12/1 to 14/1 and ran a just about acceptable debut. Close up early and moving forward on the rail to press the pacemaker at halfway. She stalled from before one furlong out and slightly faded late. An acceptable debut and should be able to reach he expected rating but may need 6f.  Estimate [45]
    May 6th: Nottingham
    5f Maiden Fillies'
  • Made a just about acceptable debut by trainer standards in a muddling Leicester race. The subsequent performances of the winner (won a very slow race at the Curragh this week) and the 4th have suggested that race was under-rated.
  • The trainer has made a slow start to the season and has only run two for Sheikh Mohammed's son other than this one. They have both performed moderately, However, he's a very reliable trainer and chooses his early debut runners well.
  • Given the trainer's record and the paddock review she appeals as being able to reach 70+ here and a strong contender.  Profile [72]
  • May 26th: Bath
    5f Maiden Fillies'
  • 100/30 from 4/1 at Nottingham. Pressed the pacemaker by a neck at halfway. Quickened the pace with winner at halfway and pulled 3L clear of others & just held by short head.  Estimate [68]
  • Showed good improvement LTO to pull clear of moderate newcomers. Kept on well and ought to be suited by this stiffer 5f.  Profile [73]
