July 11th: Windsor
6f Maiden |
Made a solid price at the Doncaster St Leger sales.
Reviewed at the sales and rated 68 with an average chance of being a 2yo
winner. Above average size and notably heavily built. Good depth in front
and reasonably mature overall but looked more likely to be a 3yo development
type because of his size and build. Needed to develop his athleticism to
carry his bulk. Rating as a 2yo and had scope to develop further at 3yo.
Sire gets wins at all distances. Debut win have tended to come after May.
He has had 13 runners in 2005 with one win (25/1 and assisted by a big
draw bias) and two places.
Major 2yo trainer does not target strong debuts and they usually come along
with the useful+ types and often in moderate races.
The first 55 debuts in 2005 produced just 2 FTO wins (both at this course
in moderate races) and was indicative of his lack of useful+ early 5f types
this season.
He then ran 8 on debut over 9 days (June 30-July 8th) and had three debut
winners that were supported and ridden by P. Dobbs/R Moore/R Hughes. These
debut wins were over 7f and the (each-way) support came late on possibly
suggested they had ascertained that none of the other runners were particularly
well regarded. The 7f debuts fits in with the overall view that they lack
a good group of sprint 2yos but have some better later developing and 7f+
types.
Trainer runs two in the race, neither well drawn, with R Hughes on this
one and R Moore on Lester Leaps In.
In summary an interesting prospect and one to check how he has developed
given his sales notes. Profile [63]
