May 15th: Ripon
6f Maiden |
Made lowish price at the Doncaster St Leger Sales.
Reviewed at the sales and rated 68 with an average chance of being a 2yo
winner at his level. His was above average size and well built. He was
slightly too compact and upright, leggy and weak behind. However he was
mature and an acceptable mover.
Sire has variable record with 2yos and does get 6f winners. The wins tend
to come form May onwards.
The dam showed moderate form over 6f at 2yo.
Trainer does not target FTO wins but has had a debut winner with his first
runner in 2003 (6/1) and 2004 (14/1). They were both useful to superior
types. Normal debuts rate between 50 to 64 for average to useful winners.
He has had one surprise FTO winner (drifted from 10/1 to 20/1) so far in
2005. The debuts overall in 2005 have been up to the usual standard with
the later winners so far rating close to 50.
Trainer introduced a better type at York three days ago who was a strong
second rated 70+. Trainer runs two in the race and this may be the first
string.
In summary the sales review suggested he had the size and build to develop
to be at least an average winner. Trainer's debut runners tend to be competent
but with room for improvement. Profile [63]
