Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
May 28th: Doncaster 
6f Maiden
  • Made a good price at the Tattersalls part 1 sales.
  • Reviewed at the sales - rated 67. Medium size and just above medium build. Narrow and weak in front; notably physically immature.
  • By a first season sire with a mixed pedigree that showed 2yo form over 6f. Sire made a moderate impression with yearlings and many were small although often with better builds. 
  • Sire has had mostly moderate runners so far over 5f but had his first winner yesterday in a Haydock Auction race. 
  • Trainer does not target strong debuts and FTO wins are rare. He has had one win and two places from 15 debuts in 2005. The debut win was at 20/1 in a race where the odds-on favourite 'failed'.

  • June 11th: Ripon
    6f Maiden
  • 33/1 at Doncaster. Looked more mature than the sales but similar in some ways. Still just medium size but with a heavy build. Powerful behind but still a little weak in front.
  • Broke well from a wide draw and second just behined the leader (who won) at the end of the first furlong. Slightly outpaced and got shuffled back as the field grouped on the rail, settled 7th and 3L off the leader at halfway. No progress against the first three but made two places as two of the early pacemakers faded. Estimate [52]
  • A solid debut by trainer standards but finished just behind a runner who had been placed in a seller on his last run. Form of the race is difficult to read but the second has won a weak race since and the 10th placed on the AW.
  • Trainer runs two with J Egan on this one and W Supple on newcomer Ponty Carlo. Profile [68]
