May 14th: Newbury
6f Maiden Div II |
Exceptional sire is now deceased. Has a good record with 2yos but runners
tend to develop with time. He has not had a 2yo winner before June in Britain
2002-4.
Sire can get 5f winners but better record and more quality with 6f+ wins.
He has had three debut runners in Britain in 2005, two for this trainer.
George Washington was 3rd after a slightly unlucky run and Marcus Andronicus
won at York.
Dam was a Grade 1 winner in the US and has produced the Grade 1 winner
& good sire War Chant.
Trainer has a record of 3 wins and 3 places from 8 races in May in Britain.
He has had a 3rd and a winner in 2005. The runners tend to be well prepared
but not 'wound up'.
Trainer won this race in 2003 with one of his best 2yos in a disappointing
season overall.
In summary another high class debut runner and likely to rate highly.
