Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 18th: Pontefract
5f Maiden Fillies'
  • Cost lowish price at Doncaster sales but well above basement level. Made similar price to her dam and her latest half sister who rate 51 and 61 at best.
  • Was small and lightly built at the sales (smaller than either Beautiful South & Hasty Passion for example). She was neat enough and unremarkable otherwise but always likely to be limited by her size.
  • Third season sire had good start with 2yos in 2003 but less good in 2004. He gets 5f winners but they tend to be from May onwards.
  • Dam showed moderate form from 6f to 10f and has produced a selling level 7f 2yo winner.
  • The trainer has had an increased number of 2yos in 2003-4 and this runner is in the middle of his normal range of sales price.
  • He is notable for having his 2yos ready and competent on debut and they can win northern races at longer SPs because of this. He had the 14/1 winner of this race in 2004 with a filly that rated 60 on debut and 65 at best (despite here ridiculous Official Rating of 80).
  • In summary she has 60-64 rated sprint 2yo stamped all over her and has very little scope to develop. However she is likely to be ready to run to that level on debut and if she can handle the ground that may not be far off winning in what is a moderate race on profile.  Profile [59]
  • April 18th: Pontefract
    Post Race
  • The trainer was interviewed after the race and said - "She had been working well at home..... we were worried by the ground (soft) but I said to the owner that we couldn't run away from a race this poor...if she didn't go on the ground then we'd just take her somewhere else."
  • The interview confirmed that the trainer assesses his 2yos at home and knows how good they are before they run. It also showed he knows how to judge a race and he knew that this race was 'easy' for her.
  • Ridden by a 3lb apprentice she just had to be professional to set the pace on the rail and left clear in the last 1 furlong as the closest chaser lost her action. Race run in a notably slow time.  Profile [61]
  • May 2nd: Doncaster
    5f Novice
  • Did not show 5f pace to win in soft ground on a stiff track on debut. An entirely different test to this race.
  • Trainers runners tend to be close to their final rating on debut and her FTO rating fits in with the level expected of her on sales review. Minor improvement here. Penalised 6lb for her win and would give 1lb to a newcomer colt.  Profile [65 - 1 = 64]
