Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
July 11th: Windsor
6f Maiden
  • Made a high price at the Goffs sales although below the foal level. The owner (E. Hankinson) has had a STO winner with another expensive 2yo with the trainer in 2005.
  • Good sire has a variable record with 2yos and just about average overall. As a group they tend to be better for development later in the season. He gets wins at all distances. 
  • Sire has had twelve runners in 2005 and two of the first 4 debuts  have won average 6f maidens. Another has won over 7.5f STO after a placed 6f debut. 
  • Dam a useful winner in Germany and reasonably well related.
  • National Hunt stable but has had between one to seven 2yo runners in the last four seasons. Notably these 2yos have been relatively expensive sales purchases. In 2003 he had an increase to 7 runners and these included 4 sales buys for more than 50k gns including three costing more than 100k gns. These were for well known owners such as the late R. Sangster, Team Havana and W. Farish jnr. In 2004 he only had one 2yo runner which cost 21k gns.  
  • However, he does not target 2yo racing and the most runners will only have 2-3 runs in the season and most will be later season debuts. He has only had one 2yo win in the last 4 seasons and none in 2002-4.   
  • Debut runs tend to be at longer SPs and usually 12-14lbs below the best rating for runners with ability. 
  • He has had a STO winner with his first runner who showed ok promise in a quiet first run.
  • In summary a solid profile for a winner of some sort but unlikely to have a competitive debut by normal trainer methods. Mosderate draw in 4.  Profile [58]
