Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 14th: Newmarket
5f M (C&G)
  • Retained for a low price in the context of the Tattersalls part 1 sales.
  • Reviewed at the sales and rated 68 with an above average chance of being a competitive 2yo. He was small and short but stockily built and a ready type. He should be able to be a 70s rated sprint winner but lacking scope to develop through the season.
  • Third season sire has a just reaching average record with 2yos. He gets winners at all distances at about equal rates (possibly suggesting the dam's input is important). He can get odd earlyish 5f winners.
  • Dam showed form from 7-12f and was beat at 3yo. Her better foals have been 7f+ types.
  • Trainer has not targeted FTO wins in recent seasons and early debuts can often be inexperienced. Only the very best runners compete well on debut. He has had one inexperienced debut run in 2005 and one solid 3rd place in yesterday's Maiden FIllies' race at the course.
  • He seems to have developed a strategy of running his most natural 2yo sprint types in the maidens at this meeting. In 2004 he won the fillies' race with the useful Siena Gold and natural sprinter Alpaga Le Jomage was third in this race. In 2005 he has had a similar type finish third in the fillies' race.
  • In summary the pedigree of a 2yo that will need further but on physical review looked like a smallish sprinter and trainer has shows signs of choosing natural 2yo types for the maidens at the course. Ought to be more competent than the trainer's usual on debut if he follows the same mould. Profile [70]
  • April 14th: Newmarket
    Post Race
  • 16/1 7th favourite. He was drawn on the outside and taken slightly right-handed by Hunter Street at the start. Recovered to sit with the pacemaking group and three lengths off the leaders at halfway. Soon outpaced and faded with a group of others as the race quickened at 2f out. Looked slightly inexperienced and jockey was not hard with him.
  • The trainer has introduced four runners in the maidens at this meeting in the last two seasons and this one showed the least readiness and close to a typical trainer debut. On this type of debut he is an average winner at best in line with his sales review.  Estimate [49]
  • April 26th: Bath
    5f Auction
  • A moderate debut at Newmarket and not promising anything better than an average winner. Trainer has had a poor STO run from the other maiden debut runner from that meeting.
  • Trainer has run subsequent winners who were on debut in this race previously. Penalised 2lb for sales price.  Profile [64 - 2 = 62]
