Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
July 7th: Folkestone
7f Maiden
  • Made a lowish price at the Tattersalls October Part 2 sales especially in light of her better class siblings.
  • By second season sire who made a good start with 2yos in 2004 with a solid number of winners and notable for some good quality types. Got 6f winners and runners tended to be better from May onwards.  He has had his first 2005 winner with a 6f runner on debut after the early 5f runners competed moderately.  That winner has won a listed race 3TO. 
  • Dam has produced two useful 6-7f 2yo winners including on debut.
  • Second 2yo runner for a new trainer who took over father-in-law PW Harris' stable at the start of the season. The stable is large enough to employ dedicated yard managers and in January 2004 former trainer J. Cullinan took over as the 2yo yard manager from R. Eddery who had been in that role for 13 years. The 2004 season was a low point for the stable with the lowest number of 2yo winners, wins and a moderate wins to runs percentage.  
  • This is a typical time for the stable to start running it's 2yos. 
  • The stable does not target full 2yo seasons and most will run to 3-4TO at most. Some of the poorer home breds may run to 6TO.  
  • The strategy is to make later season debuts and to try to win a maiden within the first two runs by runners with ability who may then step up to Listed+ races.  
  • In past seasons the FTO SPs had been a good indicator of better and superior runners but this has not been the case in 2003-4. The shorter SPs have tended to be the earliest debuts, probably because of the stable's reputation. The later debuts are usually at long SPs and can include FTO winners and places because of the readiness and competence of his runners on debut.  
  • In previous seasons the runners tended to improve 0-9lbs STO having been quite ready on debut. The debuts were more variable in 2004 with some runners showing some inexperience on the FTO run. Those runners that had shown up well on debut tended to improve within the usual 0-9lbs range.  
  • The first runner finished unplaced 3 days ago having missed an intended FTO run 10 days before after injuring the jockey.
  • In summary a reasonable pedigree for a minor 7f winner and hints of better ability. Should be competent on debut if trainer follows the previous stable strategy.  Profile [62 + 5 = 67]
