June 13th: Thirsk
7f Maiden - Div II |
Owner bred by Maktoum Al Maktoum.
Sire has just an average record with 2yos given the opportunities he has
had and few of quality. He normally gets runners that need 6f+ and time
to develop. His 5f winners in 2004 were in poor races and/or on soft ground.
His three runners in 2005 have included an untypically fast 5f 2yo.
Dam very well related and a 10f 3yo winner in France. She has produced
two 2yo winners the latest better than useful.
Major trainer does not target strong debuts and only the very best win
FTO. He has had a slightly slow start to 2005 with only one winner (STO)
to date. He has lacked the better quality earlier runners of the last three
seasons.
In 2003-4 he introduced 23 2yos in June with 3 FTO wins and a number of
above average 2yos were beaten and the debut winners were superior. They
were a range of types from Group winners down to moderate maidens.
He has has one FTO win and 3 places from 18 debuts in 2005.
In summary a solid pedigree although the sire is a slight negative and
starting over 7f this early not necessarilay a good sign. Trainer's debuts
tend to be uncompetitive unless they are useful types. However, this is
a weak race and if she has any of the family's ability she could be involved
in the finish. [55 + 5 = 60]
