June 20th: Nottingham
6f Maiden |
Made a high price as a Foal at the sales.
By sire with a very good and consistent record with 2yos. Gets early, precocious
sprinters and good record with debut runners. Solid percentage of useful+
2yos. Notable for runners having better record on GF+ going.
Sire has had three winners this season on firmer ground (plus one heavily
built 2yo that failed on very firm ground).
Dam has US pedigree. Showed moderate placed form in Ireland at 2yo and
transferred to Britain at 3yo winning a handicap off OR65.
Eighth debut (+ one withdrawn) for major 2yo trainer with the best of resources.
He targets maiden wins in the first two runs and the better 2yos step up
to high class races. FTO runs are normally competent and the better runners
can win & place.
The early debuts have been patchy in 2005 and have not settled into usual
standard. 4 of previous 7 have finished in the first 3 but without putting
up strong performances (in moderate to average races). The other three
have been inexperienced and/or poor.
