Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 23rd: Leicester
5f Maiden
  • Made an acceptable price at the Tattersalls part 2 sales.
  • By repatriated sire who has a moderate record with 2yos overall but ok for 5-6f minor winners.  He has a solid start to 2005 with two minor 5f winners already. 
  • Dam had an acceptable sprint 2yo pedigree but showed no form in several runs. This is her first foal.
  • Trainer has settled into his normal pattern of debut runners being competent and able to place on debut in suitable races without winning unless targeted debuts for specific owners.
  • The trainer had runners in the race in 2002-3 and both were on STO runs and beaten (one at 1/2fav). The 2003 runner was a similar type by the same sire who won at claiming level later rating around 70 at best.
  • In summary an acceptable although uninspiring pedigree and an ok sales price given the dam's racing record. Likely to be competitive at 65-72 level later but not ready to run to that level here.  Profile [56]
  • April 23rd: Leicester
    Post Race
  • An unremarkable type overall, slightly small but with some length. Strong quartered overall although slightly lighter build behind. Showed a notable mature and competitive attitude. In summary a neat type, lacking scope and slightly limited by his size but makes the most of what he is because of his maturity and solid reach. Probably can get to around 70 rating in early season but unlikely to develop further.
  • Drifted from 12/1 to 16/1 on debut and no vibes that he was expected to compete strongly. Looked a neat, mature, competitive and early type but slightly limited by his size. Sat close to the pace and finished the race off best of those near the pacemakers. Inclined to the view that this was an 'accidental' debut win for the trainer in a race that was weaker than it looked. May struggle under the penalties he will have to carry.  Estimate [61]
  • May 2nd: Curragh 5f
    May 21st: Curragh 5f
  • May 2nd won a 6 runner race at the Curragh on Heavy ground in a slow time. The favourite for the race was Where's That Tiger who has run unplaced in a Listed race at Goodwood since.
  • May 21st finished second in the Listed 'Marble Hill' stakes beaten by the filly who was his runner-up on May 2nd. She reportedly will be targeted at Royal Ascot.
  • June 4th: Epsom
    6f Listed
  • Penalised for the Curragh with and gives 2lb+ to the other runners. Trainer has run a variety of types in the race in the last three years with the best finish being a 2nd place with Cedarberg (who had also run in Ireland placed in a maiden when accompanying the owner's Holborn). 
  • Difficult to place and the Leicester form is just ordinary with the 2nd-4th beaten a number of times since. [What does 'Irish 2yo Racing' say about the Marble Hill form?]  Profile [84 - 2 = 82]
  • June 14th: York
    6f Group 2
  • 4/1jf at Epsom and handled the course well. Broke first from a goo low draw and settled well in 2nd just off the lead after 1f. Allowed leader to cross him over to the rail and tracked him travelling well at halfway. Went clear comfortably and drew 6L clear of the fading King Malachi who finished 2nd. Similar size to King Malachi but heavier and more length. Estimate [100]
  • Time at Epsom was above average but not startling. Some hint that he won as comfortably as he did because he handled the course so much better than the others. Trainer in interview was not particularly bullish - "Nice little horse, always a professional and knew he was handy enough to operate on the track". Trainer runs two here with C Catlin again riding and T Durcan on Zato.
  • A difficult type to assess physically and has already performed above expectations. Gives the impression of being a precocious and professional 2yo and is relatively further developed by mid season. He probably has limited development and ought to be vulnerable against the best of the long term prospects. Profile [100]
