Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 18th: Windsor
5f Maiden
  • Made lowish price at the Tattersalls part 2 sales.
  • Reviewed at the sales and small and lightly built and had been over-prepared for the sales. Looked to be a limited type that might rate into the 60s early but lacked development potential.
  • Sire has reasonable record with 2yos although signs of it slightly declining after a very good start. Can produce early 5f winners but as a general rule they tend to develop and win from May onwards. The 3 wins before May in 2003-4 have been split as two by the useful La Cucharacha and one in a poor, draw affected race at Beverley.
  • He has had one minor 5f winner so far in 2005.
  • Dam has 'all speed' pedigree but of moderate quality. She showed poor form at any distance but has produced a 60s rated sprint 2yo.
  • Major trainer does not target FTO wins and they tend to come along with better types. He has made a slow start to 2005 but has now had two winners.
  • Trainer often uses this course to introduce 2yos and they are of a wide levels of ability. Not unusually he has two runners in this race and this one has the 'preferred' jockey although may have a moderate draw. 
  • In summary the pedigree of a 60s rated sprint 2yo at best although may be close to that on debut given his light build.  Profile [60]
  • April 18th: Windsor
    Post Race
  • Not a particularly taking type and a surprise to see him second favourite and preferred to Green Park. Has grown well from the sales but not put on muscle in front, narrow overall. On the positive side he's mature and ready although not with strong scope to develop. Lacks quality overall.
  • 4/1 and the stable preferred and ridden by R Hughes. Low drawn and went on the detour to centre course and back with a group of five. Second best of that group and ran roughly to expectations. Looked a mature type and grown since sales but lacking quality. Estimate [57]
  • April 26th: Bath
    5f Auction
  • Trainer has won the last three editions of this race. Runs two here and the vibes were that he was a ready type and likely early winner on debut. Ran roughly to expectations there but had an excuse given his draw.
  • Ought to show good improvement but trainer has a mixed record with runners off only a 7 day break (or less) to STO. Profile [70]
  • May 9th: Windsor
    5f Novice
  • 2/1f. Drawn 8 and broke well and came stands' side in a race run on soft ground. Pressed the leader (who faded to 5th) and outpaced by Takoda inside 2f from the finish. Lost a length+ on that runner but plugged on and just got back up late on. That race was run in a very slow time and turned into a 'slog' and his experience and fitness enable him to get back at a runner who had outpaced him.  Estimate [66]
  • Did not have to show 5f pace to win LTO and has a different test here. Has looked limited to being an average early season winner and limited scope over 5f. Penalised 2lb for his win and receives 5lb from Lyrical Blues. Ought to show small improvement.  Profile [74]
  • May 18th: Goodwood
    5f Listed
  • Drifted from 2/1 to 5/2 as second favourite at Windsor. Tracked an average pace by 1.5L at halfway and did quite well to get through to win from the maiden King Malachi. Race run in an average time. Estimate [78]
  • In theory the chosen of five entries for the trainer with two of the other entries winning lesser races two days ago. The form of the Windsor race is not that strong although he did well to pick up the leader in a race with an average pace. Finished behind Crocodile Bay when they both made their debuts but that form cannot be taken literally because they ran very different routes through the race.
  • Has kept on well in his races but has been outpaced to some extent by faster 2yos. Overall has looked just an average to useful early season 2yo and although has developed well from the sales needs to continue that physical development to rate more highly.  Profile [79]
  • June 4th: Epsom
    6f Listed
  • 7/1 fifth favourite at Goodwod in a muddling race where the field finished in a bunch behind the clear winner. Broke well and 3rd after the first furlong. Settled in same position at halfway less than a length off the leader. The winner quickened 2L clear at this point and set off a scramble amongst the other runner. He was outpaced and dropped back to 7th after a bump from Puskas in a generally rough bunch. Plugged on again in the uphill finish to 5th. Estimate [82]
  • Steps up to 6f but on a quick course. Form of his Goodwood race is muddling with 5 horses finishing in a bunch. The only one to have run since was well beaten in the National Stakes although had a slight excuse with the draw.  Profile [84]
