May 20th: Goodwood
6f Maiden Fillies' |
Owner bred and the same trainer had the half sister in 2004. Withdrawn
from the Tattersalls part 2 sales.
Sire has a moderate record with 2yos. Gets winners at 6f+ and these tend
to be from June onwards.
Dam was unraced and has produced a minor 5f AW 2yo winner.
Relatively new trainer. Son of Lord Magadale (family stud is Fonthill where
Julio Mariner etc. were bred). Developing a reputation as a very good,
dual purpose, trainer. He has a strategy with his 2yos and he knows when
his horses are ready to win.
It is notable that the earlier debuts in the season are the better 2yos
and the likely winners. In 2003 his first debut was 3rd FTO and an average
later winner and the second debut was Group 3 winner Pastoral Pursuits
who was also third on debut. In 2004 he only had two 2yo winners but the
best of them was his first runner and she won on debut.
His debut runners are usually around 10-14lbs below final rating although
the better types can improve a little more. This strategy means that the
useful+ 2yos can rate over 70 on debut and place in maidens and occasionally
win.
This would have been his second debut but Prince Tamino's debut race yesterday
was abandoned. Profile [68]
