April 15th: Newbury
5.1f Maiden |
Sold for good price at the Doncaster St Leger sales.
By second season sire that made a very good impression in 2004 with a good
set of sprint 2yos, including early 5f winners.
Older dam has a mixed pedigree but was a useful older sprint winner in
Germany. Her previous foals have raced in Germany and been older winners.
Trainer in his second season training after return from Hong Kong. Previously
had a very good record with 2yos and notable for having runners fit and
competent on debut.
In 2004 the earliest debuts competed well but none won (including those
that were backed). He said he had been caught out by the gallops at Newmarket
compared to Manton (where he trained before going to Hong Kong) and did
not have those early debuts fit enough. The earliest debut runners were
80+ rated winners later in the season.
Trainer has had two runners in 2005 in the previous two days.
In summary a good pedigree for an above average sprint 2yo and a good sales
price. Probably a good sign he runs this early given his siblings records.
Likely to be competent on debut and have scope to develop. Profile
