Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
May 2nd: Kempton
5f Maiden
  • Made good price at the Tattersalls part 2 sales.
  • First season sire cost $1.5M as a yearling and won a Group 3 over 7f at 2yo after an August debut. He made an acceptable impression at the sales. B2yor reviewed 13 of his yearlings and they were a solid group although lacking higher quality.
  • The dam is well related but showed poor form from 6-12f. However, she has produced two useful 6f 2yos as well as more moderate types.
  • Veteran trainer targets 2yo racing and has a good record. Notable for having a plan for most 2yos and being flexible enough to use whatever approach is needed to give best chance of a win. 
  • Trainer does not target FTO wins although they are usually competent so the better runners can place or occasionally win on debut. Runners often 10lbs or more below best on debut. 
  • He has had one previous runner in 2005 who was uncompetitive on debut and ran into a tougher than normal race at Brighton STO when 3rd STO.
  • The trainer used the race in 2002 to introduce an above average developmental 2yo.
  • In summary likely to be an average winner over 6f+ and might develop a little further. Likely to need this debut to develop from  Profile [58]
  • May 9th: Windsor
    5f Novice
  • The 'word' seemed to be out that he was 'useful' and he opened 11/8f and received support and ended as 6/4jf with Peace And Love (good previous form). The trainer does not target debut wins other than occasionally with his useful+ 2yos. The debut wins tend to be supported in the market but late on and unusual for this one to open as favourite. He made an acceptable debut for the trainer without looking 'special'. However, the jockey gave the impression that today wasn't 'The day' and he was happy with a quiet, educational ride and debut.
  • Broke ok and settled in second early around 2 lengths behind the pacemaker. The jockey made minor request for effort inside 2f out and there was a minor response and then he was allowed to come home with the jockey doing enough to ensure third. Finished just in front of a number of 'lesser' types.  Estimate [69]
  • Had looked a small but notably heavy type at the sales. He looked to have the build to develop to be a strong 2yo but needed to develop his athleticism. This was a possibility because the previous foal - Umniya- had shown similar development to rate in the mid 80s. The betting market on his debut suggested he has developed and the vibes were that he was useful at least. His performance in the race suggested the trainer and jockey were happy with a normal educational debut that the stable has. On normal trainer methods we should see a lot more of what he is capable of STO and he receives weight from the previous winners here.  Profile [78 + 2 = 80]
  • May 22nd: Brighton
    6f Novice
  • Opened 6/4 and finished 11/8f with none of the other runners supported. Still looked a compact and chunky type lacking some range although strong. Fit enough. Ran slightly freely early but settled tracking the leader More Time (also in this race). Half a length off an average pace at halfway he showed only a little change-of-pace to get past the leader as the race 'started' inside 2f from home. Lead going into the final furlong but caught and slightly outpaced late by Green Pride.  Estimate [75]
  • Steps up to 6f and drops to the trainer's preferred course for trying to ensure wins. Sisblings have tended to be better at 6f+. Profile [75 +6 = 81]
  • June 4th: Epsom
    6f Listed
  • 4/5f at Brighton and looked an improved horse over 6f. Slightyl free early and settled close up in second. Pulled through to lead 2f out and went clear comfortably and won with something in hand.  Estimate [75]
  • Unpenalised for his win.  Profile [84 + 3 = 87]
