Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 7th: Declared for
Leicester 5f Maiden
  • Made solid price as Doncaster St Leger sales. Well above average for his sire.
  • Second runner for first season sire who himself only cost 2.8k gns at the sales. He has an 'all speed' pedigree and was a tough sprint 2yo although below pattern race class. He developed over a long career to win a Group 2 6f sprint at 6yo. 
  • The sire has a moderate pedigree and none of his siblings have rated over 70 and his latest half-brother sold for 1.5k gns at the 2004 sales.
  • Sire had first runner yesterday and that runner finished an ok third in a weak race running for the trainer (R. Millman) who has his 2yos most ready so far in 2005.
  • Dam was average 5f 2yo winner and has produced sprint winners although most of moderate to average ability.
  • Trainer usually assesses 2yos at home and can get debut winners later in the season. The earliest debuts in 2003-4 have been competent and usually within 10lbs of their best although lacking the debut competitiveness of later targeted debuts. 
  • Trainer has had one runner so far in 2005 who showed inexperience before plugging on for a volunteer third.
  • In summary a mixed story. The price given the pedigree suggests a good physical type. The trainer's debut runners are usually competent although the earliest runners tend only to place at best. Profile [60]
  • April 7th Leicester
    Post Race
  • Paddock rated 70?. Did not look mentally nor physically ready. Has some size to develop but needs to tighten up and be mentally more professional. Looked an average winner at best and ought to be able to rate just over 70 if he develops.
  • Interesting to see him in relation to his trainer's record. His trainer normally has runners fit and competent on debut. However, in recent seasons the earliest debuts, while often placing, have not really been competitive and have often not developed (e.g. Favouring in 2004, Little Jimbob in 2003). 
  • This runner did not look physically nor mentally ready to run to his best. In a moderate group he was about the biggest and has some prospects to develop but he needs to. 
  • Drifted from 5/2jf to 100/30 and ran a moderate race in a slow race, sitting in midfield and fading back with the moderate types in the last furlong. Has the physical set-up to rate around 70 but needs to tighten up and develop physically and grow up mentally. Estimate [46]
  • May 20th: Haydock
    5f Auction
  • Given a long break from a poor debut in a moderate race when he wasn't physically or mentally ready to compete. Will need to have developed well to compete here and trainer's earlier debuts in previous seasons have tended not to show this improvement. Profile [60 + 2 = 62]
