June 3rd: Thirsk
6f Maiden Fillies' |
Owner bred by Maktoum Al Maktoum.
High class, US based, sire has a very good record with his British raced
2yos which have included a good proportion of useful+ 2yos. He gets winners
from 6f upwards and from June onwards. His FTO win record is above average.
Dam trained in France and won Group races over 8f in the first half of
her 3yo season. She has produced one high class middle distance runner
to a less precocious sire (Rainbow Quest).
Major trainer does not target strong debuts and only the very best win
FTO. He has had a slightly slow start to 2005 with only one winner (STO)
to date. He has lacked the better quality earlier runners of the last three
seasons.
He is in the period when they debut the better 6f+ 2yos. One of these has
won FTO at Ripon despite a problematic run.
In 2003-4 he introduced 23 2yos in June with 3 FTO wins and a number of
above average 2yos were beaten and the winners were superior. They were
a range of types from Group winners down to moderate maidens.
In summary a very good pedigree and possibly a good sign she runs quite
early in the season. However, she would need to be better than useful to
win but there's a solid chance that she is on pedigree. Profile
