Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 28th: Redcar
5f Auction
  • Made reasonable price at the Tattersalls Ireland sales. At the lower end of his trainer's purchase range.
  • Sire has solid record with 2yos 2003-4 and can get 5f winners, including in early season and occasionally on debut. 
  • The sire has already had a 5f winner and a 5f placer in 2005.
  • Dam showed poor to moderate form over sprint distances. She has produced moderate to average 6-7f 2yos at best. There have sold for similar sales prices to this one.
  • Medium sized stable runs around 10, sales bought, 2yos each year. Debut runs tend to be around 14lbs below final rating. However he does get occasional debut wins with better types in weaker northern races.
  • FTO SP shows no relation to debut performance nor overall ability.
  • This is the trainer's first runner of the season. The trainer's first runner in 2003 was Granston who is a half brother to this one and made his debut one day earlier.
  • In summary likely to be competitive to be a minor winner during the season given the early debut for the trainer. However unlikely to be competitive to win/place unless useful which his profile does not suggest. Penalised 7lb for sales price.  Profile [61 - 7 = 54].

    May 19th: Doncaster
    6f Auction
  • 14/1 on debut and slightly inexperienced overall. 5L off the lead at halfway and the jockey was notably quiet and he just plugged on to finish in the rock with moderate types.  Estimate [54]
  • The form of his debut run looks over-rated given the performance of the runners he finished with. Steps up to 6f. Trainer's runners tend to improve around 10lb STO.  Profile [60 + 3 = 63]
