Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 10th: Goodwood 
6f Maiden
  • Owner bred by Hamdan Al Maktoum.
  • Sire has excellent pedigree and also bred by H Al Maktoum. Won over 6f on his debut on June 15th for J Dunlop and placed in a 7f Group3 race on July 31st.
  • He has had only one British 2yo runner who was 3rd on an October debut.
  • Dam won a 6f maiden on debut and proved below pattern class when tried in the Lowther. Her previous 2yo won on debut at 6f on August 13th rating in the 80s but also proved below pattern class when tried.
  • First runner of the season for the trainer. This is a roughly normal time for him to start running the first batch of 2yos and the same as in 2004.
  • 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. 
  • Given the relatively small number of FTO wins his runners which start at less than 10/1 are usually poor value. In 2003-4 with a lack of superior runners this group produced 6 wins from 42 runs in total and none in 2004. 
  • In summary an interesting pedigree with the sire, dam & sibling all winning over 6f on debut and two for this trainer. All have proved short of Group class. Trainer's overall FTO record is a negative and he would also need to be a useful+ 2yo to win this early. Profile [68 + 5 =73]
