Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 13th: Declared for 
Beverley 5f Auction
  • Retained for reasonable price in the context of the race.
  • First season sire made 6f May debut at 2yo and superior 6-7f runner. Made solid impression at the sales and yearlings sold well. B2yoR rated 32 of his yearlings and they were a solid group if lacking real stars.
  • Sire has made a moderate impact with the 4 runners to date.
  • Dam was rated around 60 at her best at 5f.
  • Trainer has good record with older runners but approach with 2yos difficult to assess. Overall record moderate. Earliest debuts often of mixed ability but run to competent level within their ability.
  • Trainer has shown the same traits in 2005 with runners placing on debut at longer SPs but not progressing.
  • In summary the pedigree of a 50s sprinter and likely to be running close to her best on debut.  Profile [49]
  • April 13th: Beverley
    Post Race
  • Ran a fairly typical trainer debut and placed second at 50/1 after being within three lengths of the good pace at halfway and keeping on best of the moderate types.  Estimate [60]
  • April 23rd: Ripon 
    5f Auction Fillies'
  • Trainer has had a typical 2005 so far with 2yos. They have been ready on debut, many have run close to the pace and he has had 6 places on debut from 9 runners all at longer SPs. However, the STO runs have not shown any improvement and the usual hints that the 2yos form and rating can tail off.
  • Expect a similar run to debut here but possibly slightly lower. Receives 4lb from the topweight fillies.  Profile [58 + 4 = 62] 
  • April 30th: Thirsk
    5f Novice
  • Won by 5 lengths from a T Easterby newcomer at Ripon in a slow race on soft. Penalised 4lb for that win and meets Mr Rooney again who beat her on debut.
  • Trainer's runners tend to be very close to final rating on debut and form tails off.  Profile [62 + 8 = 70]
  • April 30th: Thirsk
    Post Race
  • Supported from 9/2 to 7/2 as third favourite having won well from newcomers in similar ground conditions 7 days before. Broke ok and taken behind the pacemakers to settle third on the stands' rail. Tracked the good pace by 1.5 lengths at halfway and travelling ok. The pacemakers stalled from inside 2f out and drifted left towards the centre of the course and the 'closers' followed leaving her alone on the rail and taking the straightest course. 
  • She made 2 lengths on the stalled runners in centre track in the last half furlong and keeping on at the finish although in a slow time. Possibly under-rated previously but has shown form on softer ground. Well held by Mr Rooney (3rd here) on firmer ground on a stiffer track on her debut.  Estimate [69]
  • May 13th: York
    5f Fillies' Listed
  • Has softer going which she has shown her best form on. Her last run at Thirsk looks under-rated and upgrade profile in line with that. Profile [75]
  • June 15th: York
    5f Group 2 Fillies'
  • 9/2 3rd favourite at York and some support from 11/2 in a race run on soft. Just an average pace and the first two in front rank from the start and only Salut D'Amour made any ground (during mid race). Pressed the leader by a neck at halfway and went on inside 2f out. Kept on well and duelled to the line with Gamble In Gold. Estimate [83]
  • Trainer said after the race he was surprised because they originally couldn't get her to do anything at home. They though she was duff and might have run her in a seller first time and lost her. She has shown her true ability in races which fits with her determined attitude in races.
  • In a year lacking a prospective high class filly she is tied in with the best available form for the fillies along with Ooh Aah Camara and Salut D'Amour (also in the race). They set a reasonable standard but she looks like the type of filly that would finish in the 5th-8th range in a good year and might place in an average year. Has run mainly on softer surface.  Estimate [86]
