July 8th: Lingfield AW
6f Maiden Fillies' |
Made a solid price at the sales as a foal.
By veteran sire who has a good record with 2yos. Has better record at 6f+
but has had three average 5f winners in 2005 and none at 6f+.
Dam unraced and this her first foal.
First 2yo runner of the season for the trainer.
He does not strongly target 2yo racing and has had 3 winners from 36 runners
in the last 5 seasons and no winner in 2003-4. He is notable for running
his better types in Listed+ races often before they have broken their maiden.
This occasionally brings some success when he has high class runners such
as Hanami (won Listed race STO after unplaced debut) & Bachelor Duke
(placed in Group 3 race after placed debut). In 2004 his only runner to
show worthwhile form was 2nd on debut in a Conditions race.
This is a normal time of the season for him to try one of 2yos although
the better types tend to make later season debuts. FTO runs tend to be
around 10lbs below best rating for moderate to average types and better
types can therefore sometimes compete well FTO in later season.
In summary unlikely to be a better type that can be fully competitive FTO
this early in the year. Moderate drawn in 11 of 12. Profile [48]
