Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 7th: Declared for
Leicester 5f Maiden
  • Sold for lowish price at Tattersalls Ireland.
  • Second season sire made a good start with his 2yos in 2004 getting 5 individual winners from only 9 runners. These were not high quality but a good record nonetheless.
  • Sire got precocious runners and early 5f winners.
  • Old dam is quite well related but unraced. In a long career she has produced only four winners and most runners have been of moderate quality.
  • Trainer is the son of BA McMahon who is now his assistant. This is his first season with a training licence and this will be his second runner. The first was inexperienced an unplaced in the Brocklesby for important owner J. Fretwell having been backed from 25/1 to 10/1.
  • In summary positives from the sire but other factors make him difficult to place. Especially because we are still learning about the trainer's approach. Profile [50]
  • April 7th: Leicester
    Post Race
  • Small but with some build and just fit enough on debut. Has prospects to be a minor, 60s rated sprint winner. 
  • The second runner for the new trainer and owned by his mother. Backed from 5/1 to 3/1 second favourite. Pressed the limited pacemaker who set a moderate pace on soft ground in a slow race. Poor fade with the limited runners in the last one furlong. 
  • The trainer has now had two runners (one for his most important owner and the other for the family) and both have received market support and both have run poor races. His father, later in his career, used to take a 2-3 runs to develop the muscle on types like this and because of their early debuts they could then be competitive in sprint races at their level.   Estimate [45]
  • April 29th: Nottingham
    5f Novice
  • The trainer has had three further debuts runs since this one ran and all have shown inexperience and lost ground at the start. All have shown ability to recover quickly into the 'bunch' and managing to finish placed.
  • He was due to have his first STO runner yesterday with one of these slow starters. However, that one was a non-runer.
  • Should show solid improvement to be close to his natural level here.  Profile [61]
  • April 29th: Nottingham
    Post Race
  • 16/1 fourth favourite and ran a poor race on debut in a weaker race when supported. Had looked a type that would need to develop to reach mid 60s rating. The jockey seemed to have as his priority teaching him to settle in this race. Broke a little left handed but then ran slightly freely but the jockey held him up and took the opportunity of More Time crossing in front of him to settle him and drop back. Held up 3 furlongs off the pace at halfway and no progress as the race quickened before stalling in the last 1f. Ran below a low level of expectations but the lesson in settling could account for that. Still needs to develop to reach 60+.  Estimate [53]
  • May 17th: Leicester
    6f Maiden
  • Has the potential to develop a little further and should be ready to show close to his best form if he has that ability after two development runs.  Profile [60]
  • May 23rd: Carlisle
    5f Maiden
  • Non runner at Leicester and runs here 6 days later and over 5f.  Profile [60]
