Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 16th: Newbury
6f Maiden c&g
  • Retained for a lowish price at the Tattersalls part 1 sales.
  • Good sire has a variable but average record overall with 2yos but with good quality among the winners. Has a better record from 6-7f
  • Dam has a good winner producing record with 4 at 2yo of varying ability.
  • 5th debut for the trainer after starting running his 2yos last week.
  • Overall strategy is to win a maiden in the first 3 runs and then step better runners up to Conditions races or higher. 
  • He is quoted as saying all 2yo work is done as relative gallops between matched pairs/threesomes and no timing is done. This means that until he has seen how the initial debuts run he does not have a full understanding of ability of 2yos. This also matches the fact that his winners make debuts throughout season, i.e. he has not identified best runners by June and runs those first. 
  • He does not target FTO wins and the ones he get are usually with superior runners and occasionally with average types in weak races. His runners are usually at, or above, average fitness on debut and it is usually their lack of mental sharpness and the trainer's requirement that they do not have hard races that limits their FTO performance. 
  • The four debuts to date have all been similar - not competitive to win but showing some ability but keeing on into the 3rd-6th range after halfway. 
  • Trainer runs two in the race with T Queally on this one and I Mongan on Layazaal.
  • In summary the sales price suggests a limited type.  Profile [50]
