Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
March 27th:
Entered for
Musselburgh
5f Maiden
  • Above bargain basement price for DOC sales.
  • Sire had indifferent pedigree and rated 107 at best but hanging on with a record of producing 2yo sprinters, very occasionally useful+. Ok for producing 5f early at this level.
  • Dam had miler pedigree but was non-precocious and slow over any distance. Produced on poor runner.
  • Trainer in second full season and 2yos were uncompetitive on debut in 2004. Profile [47]
  • April 5th: Declared for
    Southwell AW Auction
  • Sold for a solid price in the context of this race.
  • By sire who has average record with 2yos given the opportunities he has had. Can get early 5f 2yos and occasionally useful+ types.
  • Dam had 8f+ pedigree an was slow over any distance in her athletic career. Has produced one slow runner so far.
  • Trainer had moderate start with first full season of 2yos in 2004 and hints that he hadn't yet developed a sure touch with debuts, including in early season. 
  • He has run three 2yos in 2005, all in sellers with a 7lb apprentice riding. All have finished last without achieving a rating. While one of those was small and limited the others cost 8k & 3k gns so further evidence that the trainer may not have a sure touch with debuts. Low profile in line with that. Profile [22]
  • April 12th: Declared
    Musselburgh 5f Auction
  • Ran a poor debut with a 7lb apprentice riding and not achieving a rating (as have all of his trainer's runners in 2005). Switches to turf but no positives to believe he will show other than poor form again.  Profile [20]
  • April 20th: Catterick
    5f Seller
  • 66/1, broke right-handed, behind at halfway and strong fade after than. Estimate [12]
  • Drops to seller and trainer's 2yos have all run poorly and no promise.  Profile [18]
  • May 10th: Musselburgh
    5f Auction
  • 33/1 at Catterick showed the first signs of 'form' by a trainer 2yo. With a senior jockey he was within a length of the pacemaker at halfway and plugged on to pass them late on as the pacemakers folded. However caught by a filly who had been outpaced and kept on better.  Estimate [41]
  • Showed improved form 3TO and trainer's 2yos have seemed to need at least 3 runs to show any worthwhile form. In theory steps up from a seller but this is a Class 7 auction and he is the topweight colt. The filly that beat him at Catterick has run ok in a better Claimer since and the filly in 3rd won a moderate claimer NTO. So the form looks solid although at a very low level. Penalised 3lb for sales price. Profile [45 - 3 =42]
