April 6th: Declared for
Nottingham 5f Maiden |
Sold for good price at Doncaster St Leger sales. Bought by agent D McGreavy
who has a tie-up with the trainer and they work hard together to get winners
with the sales purchases and the maximise their rating.
Reviewed at sales and rated 75 with an above average chance of being a
competitive 2yo. Should be able to rate 80+ mid season.
By veteran sire who has a good record with 2yos. Has better record at 6f+
but can get precocious 5f types.
Dam cost 45k gns at sales but only ran once. She has produced minor sprint
winners so far.
Trainer's earliest debut runners (before end April) are usually winners
during the season, often STO.
Trainer has good record with 2yos but targets STO wins and debuts normally
competent while leaving room for good improvement STO.
He used only to get debut winners with runners in Italy. However in 2003-4
he had 5 debut winners although some of those seemed to be 'accidents'
whereby the natural competence of his debut runners was enough to win weak
races.
He has only had one runner in 2005 so far and that was another debut win
at 11/2 in a weak race.
In summary a solid pedigree backed up by a good sales price and a good
sales review. Ought to be competent on debut but with room for good improvement.
However in a field without a strong profile runner could be competitive
for a win on natural competence. Profile [66]

Post Race |
Was steady around 15/2 but ended at 13/2 late. Was inexperienced in the
race and had to be driven to keep up with the group on soft ground. Plugged
on late to get to midfield as the leaders faded and, at least, was still
going forward at the line. Continue to track on better going and watch
for support on next run. Estimate [46]

April 29th: Nottingham
5f Novice |
Showed poor from on debut and a disappointing run in 5th. The 3rd, 4th
and 6th from that race have been well beaten on subsequent runs and
seeming to confirm the view of a poor 'slog' of a race.
Never got into the earlier race and driven by the jockey from early in
the race. He has first time blinkers here. In summary a lot of obvious
negatives and may not have the right attitude to express his ability. However,
the trainer has a good STO record and he ought to have more ability than
he showed on debut. Profile [66]

Post Race |
Third favourite and backed from 7/2 to 3/1 for a trainer where support
on STO runs should usually be taken notice of. He had run an inexperienced
and possibly unwilling debut here on softer going but his reliable trainer
can be trusted to identify his better horses and sort out the problems.
Broke slightly left handed from the outside stall and driven by the jockey
and showed enough pace to lead and cross in front of the field to get to
the stands' rail. None of the others looked keen to lead so he did not
have to stretch himself too much to complete this manoeuvre. Set a solid
pace and more than a length clear at halfway. Quickened the race from inside
2f out and kept on well without seeing another horse given his FT blinkers.
The level of form is not strong and he did not look notably 'bigger' amongst
the group. Probably can improve a little further but not useful.

May 9th: Windsor
5f Novice |
Trainer's runners tend to show close to their peak rating by STO runs.
He won a little comfortably and it was a notable improvement on his debut.
He looked not to have grown from the sales and may be a little below the
expectations set for him at the sales. Profile [77]

May 22nd: Brighton
6f Novice |
4/1 3rd favourite of 5 at Windsor. Allowed to front run but set only an
average pace. Led by a half length at halfway from King Malachi (who he
meets again here) and got outpaced by the better types as the race quickened
inside 2f out. Beaten by better types and even with a stronger pace would
probably have not improved his finishing position. Estimate [71]
Steps up to 6f after being quite comfortably outspeeded later in the race
by better types last time. Meets King Malachi and again has to give him
weight. Unlikely to show much improvement.
Has front run in his last two runs and meets other pace pressers here so
his jockey will have to decide whether to hold him up. Penalised 4lb for
his win but recives 2lb from the topweight. Profile [71 + 2 =
