April 23rd: Leicester
5f Maiden |
Made poor price at the Doncaster St Leger sales.
Second season sire made an acceptable start with 2yos in 2004 with an ok
number of winners although only average quality at best. He got wins over
all distances from May onwards. The two 5f wins were split as one on Heavy
ground and one in a moderate race.
Dam was bred by Cheveley Park and well enough related. She showed similar
form rated in the 50s over three seasons.
Trainer has below average record overall with average 2yos. Debuts tend
to be close to best rating although earliest debuts can be more inexperienced.
Has had three runners in 2005 two of which have placed in poor to moderate
races on debut (one showed no improvement STO).
In summary a moderate pedigree and sales price a strong worry. Likely to
be close to best rating on debut but that is likely to be quite a low level.

Post Race |
Rated 62 and although smallish showed acceptable build and depth. A notably
weak mover behind.
Drifted from 20/1 to 25/1 and price may well have been that low because
D Holland riding. Put up an untypically poor performance for a trainer
who normally has 2yos competent on debut. Broke slowly and never got into
the race and was adrift at the finish. Estimate [0]

May 1st: Newmarket
5f Maiden |
Made a poor debut only 8 days ago on softer going and was adrift in a moderate
to average race. Trainer tend to take a series of runs to get these types
'organised'. Estimate [28]

Post Race |
33/1. The only runner with previous experience in the field and finished
last. Driven along early to get close to the pacemakers and within a length
of a solid, but not strong pace, at halfway. Quickly outpaced and became
unbalanced and jinked right as the pace quickened from 2f out. Faded badly
from there. Ran to expectations and looks limited. Profile [34]

6f Auction |
Steps up to 6f after fading badly while after trying to 5f pace in a better
race. Trainer has run a similar type in the race in 2004 who finished third
an managed a minor win later in the season. That runner had not faded as
strongly as this one in it's previous runs. Profile [43]
