Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
May 19th: Doncaster
6f Auction
  • Made a good price at the Doncaster sales and a solid increase form the foal price. Owned by Sheikh Mohammed who stands the sire. Each year he tends to buy 'cheaper' representatives of his first season sires to target at 2yo racing - consider Mystical Land in 2004 for Xaar.
  • First season sire has made a good start and had more runners than any other FSS. Has had 3 winners from 15 runners inclduing one Listed level and two on debut (all at 5f).
  • Dam was a poor runner and has produced two poor sprint 2yos.
  • Major trainer does not target debut wins and those he gets are usually with superior types and more likely later in the season. However, his first 2yo winner of the season has won in the last 2 seasons although the other earlier debuts have been more typical. 
  • This is the seventh (he has two debuts earlier in the afternoon) 2yo runner of the season following a debut 4th (backed to 4/1) at York last week; a winner at Newbury (backed to 5/1) and two unplaced debuts in the last week.  
  • In summary likely to be targeted at 2yo racing but not necessarily a good sign he starts at 6f. Trainer's debuts of this type for the owner tend to be above his average. Topweight in this auction.  Profile [69]
