Pre-race Summary
 
MAY 24th SUMMING UP
  • Sonny Santino made a typical medium-quiet debut for one of his trainer's York FTO 2yos. He travelled well and moved through comfortably to take a solid third without being pressed to chase the first two. With normal trainer improvement he should rate 80+ here. There are slight niggles over the STO performance record of the good debut runners at York. The longer break caused by the abandonment of Goodwood maiden he was due to run in last week may be an advantage.
  • Red Clubs is penalised 7lb for his win and does not appear to have the overall improvement necessary to win with the extra weight as he steps up to 6f. We've probably seen close to the best from Dingaan on his last run where he was hampered later in the race. He should provide a good marker to the form.
  • Of the others both El Capitan & White Ladder have good potential to be at least average maiden winners. El Capitan runs for a trainer who targets debut wins occasionally in maidens at lesser courses and would probably have to be a superior type to win on debut. White Ladder did no look ready to compete to his best when he ran poorly on soft in the maiden that Sonny Santino ran well in at York. He was also entered in the abandoned Goodwood race. His trainer persists with running him at the important courses so he must think he's capable of being an above average maiden winner.
  • RACE QUALITY: 
  • There has been no corresponding race at this time of the season in the last two seasons.
  • SIRES:
  • First season sires Bertolini (Sonny Santino) & Mull Of Kintyre (Aboyne) have runners. they are the most successful of the new sires so far in 2005.
  • SALES REVIEWS:
  • El Capitan rated 74. Above average size and build and sire typically gets a number of good, bigger 2yos. Balanced overall including movement.
  • Red Clubs rated 69.
  • Dingaan rated 66 at the sales and upgraded to 69 at Windsor on his debut.
