Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 28th: Redcar 
5f Auction
  • Not sold but attracted solid bids for cheaper Doncaster sales. The only penalised filly (3lb) in this auction race.
  • By a second season sire that made a good start with 2yos notable for good quality although an average number of winners. Got 5f winners but from May onwards. 
  • Dam is well related and has mixed pedigree. Quite a comedown to end up with yearlings selling at DOC sales. She has not produced a winner on the flat from 4 previous foals.
  • Trainer does not target FTO wins and early debuts have not been competitive. His three debuts in 2005 have been similar although the delayed debut of Getbuzzin was backed in a muddling race. 
  • The trainer has had only two runners at the course in each of his first two seasons 2003-4. In 2003 Firebelly won on a market supported debut and Benbaun won on 6TO. In 2004 Knock Bridge was 4th on debut in May and Wigwam Willie 2nd at 5/2 on 3TO. He declared Getbuzzin for the abandoned meeting here in March and that runner has been his most competitive debut runner in 2005.
  • In summary a difficult pedigree to assess with the dam looking like a 'dead end' and not carrying the better genes of her relations. The trainer does not have a good FTO record although can get them with useful types. His record at Redcar suggests that he chooses the runners sent here with care (a good idea since it's a long way from home) so she might be 'readier' than average.  Profile [56 + 2 =58]
