March 31st : Declared
5f Conditions - Brocklesby
at Doncaster |
Average price for DSL sales.
By repatriated sire who has a moderate record with 2yos overall but ok
for 5-6f minor winners.
Sire can get early runners but poor record with debut runs and runners
tend to develop after early season.
Trainer did not used to have many 2yo runners but has increased to 2 in
2003 and 6 in 2004 with a number of relatively expensive breeze-up purchases.
Dam unraced and moderate to average pedigree and had produced a useful
2yo to the sire Pivotal (although given his record you would be inclined
to give the sire most of the credit).
In 2004 the debuts tended to be 10lb+ below best rating and not unusual
to target conditions races. The earliest debuts for the trainer were the
better types who won or competed well after debut.
In summary a trainer developing his approach with these more expensive
2yos. Pedigree suggests will need to develop and not likely to be competitive
on debut. Profile [51]

Post Race |
Ran to expectations in 7th for a trainer who had his 2004 debut runners
10lbs or more below their final rating. Should be able to progress to 65+
rating, at least, from this. Estimate [51]

April 9th: Declared for
Newcastle 5f Novice |
Runs 9 days after debut and trainer has acceptable record off such short
breaks (although with limited evidence).
Trainer tend to run his 2yos in Novice and Conditions races (rather than
maidens). They tend to show 10lbs+ improvement from debut to STO runs.
Both his wins with 2yos in 2004 were at Newcastle (one STO and one 3TO)
with apprentices riding (as one does here).
In summary an acceptable debut by trainer standards and should improve
from that. Profile [63]

May 11th: Newcastle
6f Maiden |
6/1 3rd favourite with a 3lb apprentice. Outpaced in a race with a solid
pace for soft ground and never got into the race. Estimate [51]
His debut run in the Brocklesby looks less good given the performances
of the 3rd-9th since with only one win between them in a seller. Steps
to 6f after a poor run in a moderate race on soft. Ought to get back to
original rating. Profile [54]

May 13th: Hamilton
6f Maiden |
11/1 at Necastle two days ago with the usual 3lb apprentice. Made a slow
start and never got into that race and a poor finish. Runs here only two
days later with cheekpieces. Profile [48]
