Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 1st: Newcastle
5f Maiden
  • Made a low price at the Doncaster St Leger sales.
  • Reviewed at sales, rated 58 and a slightly below average chance of being a 2yo winner at her level. Just below medium size and notable heavily built. Deep through but weak legged and overall probably too lengthy and barrelly. Did not look in proportion.
  • By a good sire with a notably good 2yo winner to runner record. Sire get winners at range of distances but solid record at 5-6f and can also get early runners. Sire can get FTO winners. He has already had three good 5f winners and a good 6f placer in 2005. 
  • Dam was a moderate rating 5f 2yo winner and has produced a moderate placed sprinter.
  • Third runner of the season for the trainer and notably late and usually has a batch of April debuts. 
  • Notable for having the runners competent and very close to their best rating on debut. The 3 winners in 2004 were amongst the batch of the earliest (April) debuts. 
  • Runners tend not to progress but run to a consistent level. In previous seasons has had difficulty converting placed runners into winners. In 2004 managed to win three weaker early season races but three other placed runners did not win.
  • In summary a limited type and may be competent to rate to a high level on debut but trainer's first two debuts have been poor.  Profile [52 + 5 = 57]
  • June 7th: Redcar
    6f Maiden
  • 50/1 at Newcastle in a race with a strong pace. Lost some ground at the start and 3L off the pace at halfway.  Lost some ground as the two better types pressed on but plugged on well (made to look better by Desert Realm's final furlong fade) when swicthed to the rail to get a volunteer 2nd.  Estimate [59]
  • Steps up to 6f after plugging on over 5f on a stiif track last time. Switches to a faster, flat track here. Trainer's runners usually fit and ready on debut and runs only 6 days after debut (trainer has poor STO record overall off any length of break).
  • In summary difficult to know whether she'll have the pace for the flat 6f against better types. First test of the Newcastle form.  Profile [59 + 5 = 64]
