May 1st: Newmarket
5f Maiden |
Made low to middling price at Doncaster St Leger sales but still well above
the price for the dam's previous yearlings.
Rated 73 at the sales with an above average chance of being competitive
as a 2yo. He was medium sized with a heavyish build while being deeper
and less lengthy than typical for the sire. He seemed well bought at only
12k gns.
Sire has good record with 2yos and regularly gets precocious 5f winners.
Dam had a minor sprint 2yo pedigree but was unraced. SHe has produce two
poor to moderate 2yos.
Trainer had increase in 2yos in 2004 and best runner was competitive on
debut in mid-April. With less 2yos and quality in previous season debuts
usually poor. SP on debut has not been an indicator of better ability.
Trainer has had two debuts in 2005 by more expensive yearlings that were
uncompetitive. Interesting to note that the trainer has only had one debut
at the course in 2002-4 (most are at northern courses). That runner - Glaramara
- was unplaced but won STO and was rated 90 at 2yo.
In summary a moderate pedigree but sales review suggested that he was at
the top end of what that pedigree could produce. He ought to be able to
rate 70+ in the season but the trainer's other debuts have been poor in
2005 so hard to expect a strong showing on debut. However, one to track
for promise. Profile [58]

50/1 and made a solid debut in finishing 6th on the wrong side of a 5 length
gap from the first 5 who all looked at least useful. An acceptable debut
by trainer's standards and held up in rear and kept on to do best of the
second rank. Estimate [49]

May 4th: Chester
5f Maiden |
Never competitive but made an acceptable debut. A surprise to see him run
only 3 days later at a course where the trainer & owner like to have
runners. Had looked to good prospects of rating 70+ in the season at the
sales but hard to know what the point of the two close runs is.
Moderately drawn in 9 but should be able to get a reasonable position with
a number of newcomers inside him. The trainer runs two and this probably
the first string. Profile [61]

May 4th: Chester
Post Race |
14/1 to 16/1 5th favourite. Ran only 3 days after a quiet Newmarket debut
where they looked to be trying to teach him to settle. Which seems odd
given the mayhem here. Given a very aggressive ride and broke first from
stall 9 and set a strong pace to lead at the end of the first furlong with
the field spread over 10 lengths and more. Continued to be driven to press
on with the pace and the first three were 5 lengths clear at halfway and
less than half the field within 7 lengths. Started to stall from 1.5 furlong
out and had 'gone' entirely by the start of the last furlong and coasted
home.
On the plus side it was good to see he has some pace and had the moderate
types outpaced but what was the point? Can do better with development but
interesting to see what effect this run has. Estimate [29]

June 1st: Beverley
5f Conditions |
Trainer's strategy in developing 2yos careers both in terms of race types
and timing can be puzzling. Returns after a break after two runs in 4 days
where the first was a perfectly solid FTO effort with a little promise.
Given no chance to show any improvement with a too aggressive ride at Chester
next time.
Has managed to find a weak edition of this race and improvement to close
to his best rating level range would make him competitive. Profile

June 16th: York
5f Group 3 |
7/1 at Beverley in a moderate edition of the race run on rain softened
ground. Set a strong pace on the rail and 1L clear at halfway. The pace
saw Soto (fav) and Lord Jack Flash stalling before the final furlong and
the outpaced newcomers plugging on past them. He did relatively well to
keep on from that pace to win. A slow time and much slower than the earlier
Hilary Needler. Estimate [69]
Can improve further for a more even run style but not up to the standard
of the best types. Estimate [78]
