Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
March 19th: Entered for - 
Lingfield 5f (AW) 
Conditions Race (D1)
  • Slightly below average price for DSL sales and below the price for his full brother at the same sales.
  • Average sire who gets 5f sprint 2yos, some precocious and occasionally better than useful. Has a poor record with FTO runners.
  • Dam had sprint/miler pedigree but was slow and never won while racing from 5f up to two miles. Produced a minor 6f 2yo winner to the same sire in 2004.
  • Trainer is notable for having his runners ready for early season debuts and professional on debut. He has entered three for this race and all were bought for prices above his normal range.
  • Trainer had 33/1 2nd in this race in 2004 with cheap buy. 
  • In summary, the trainer has entered three very interesting 2yos for a race of this quality and this probably just the best for this race although with limited scope to develop.  Profile [63] 
  • March 26th: Entered for - 
    Kempton 5f 
    Maiden - (D2)
  • Did not run in the Lingfield race either because not declared or balloted out. The trainer had the second in that race with a very fit runner. 
  • Comments and profile remain valid for this race. Profile [63] 
  • March 26th:
    Kempton 5f 
    Maiden - (5)
    POST RACE
  • Similar type to the trainer's Lionaire although slightly smaller and lighter. Had some sprinter 'snap' in movement behind. 
  • Ought to be able to rate around 70 early season but build suggests he wont develop. Paddock Rating 66.
  • Appeared to be stable second string on jockeys and slightly longer SP than Lionaire. 
  • Neither of trainer's runners got competitive in the early stages of the race. This one kept on in the last furlong past faders (made him look better) to get second.  Estimate [63]
  • March 31st : Declared
    5f Conditions - Brocklesby
    at Doncaster
  • Runs 5 days after debut.
  • Trainer runs two and this one the second string on jockeys.
  • Ought to be more professional and be capable of running close to his best. Being a smallish son of Mind Games lacking scope to develop its probably 'now or never' given an early season 5f and some easier ground. Profile [66]
  • March 31st: Doncaster
    Post Race
  • Was the trainer's second string on jockeys but attracted support and went off 7/2jf with the trainer's other runner. He had looked small and limited to 60s rating on paddock review and lacking scope to develop. 
  • Seemed to have every chance here and ran stands' side. Faded as the better horses went away in the last furlong. Looks limited to 60s rating and probably need to win early to mid season. Estimate [56]
  • April 11th: Declared for
    Southwell 5f Auction
  • Has looked limited to 60s rating and lacking scope but with his relative fitness ought to be able to produce that level of form here.
  • Gives weight to all but one of the other runners because of his relatively expensive sales price.
  • Another test of the Brocklesby Form where he finished 6th and in a normal year that form level would be enough to win a race of this type on his next run. The eight from the Brocklesby has been beaten on its next run and the 7th runs at Lingfield in a race earlier than this one.  Profile [66 - 6 =60]
  • June 10th: Chepstow
    6f Novice
  • 8/11f at Southwell. Tracked Countrywide Belle by 2L at halfway and outpaced by her before plugging on in the last furlong. Estimate [61]
  • Returns after a 2 month break and steps up to 6f. Trainer's other early debuts have mostly competed poorly recently and she seemd to have limited scope to develop.  Estimate [62 + 7 = 69]
