May 19th: Newcastle
6f Claimer |
Retained for a poor price at the Tattersalls part 2 sales.
First season sire made 6f May debut at 2yo and superior 6-7f runner. Made
solid impression at the sales and yearlings sold well. B2yoR rated 32 of
his yearlings and they were a solid group if lacking real stars.
Sire has had 14 runners already with three winners, two on debut. 5 other
runners have placed on debut at moderate levels. One of his winners won
a new Listed race at York last week.
Dam was a poor unplaced sprint 2yo. She has produced one useful 5f 2yo
filly and one useless one.
Trainer has been putting an increasing emphasis on 2yos in 2002-4.
He does not target FTO wins and did not have a FTO winner between 1994
to 2004. In 2003-4 he has had a debut winner in each season but both have
rated 30lbs or more below their best for their debut win.
He has had six poor debut runners in 2005. He has three runners in this
claimer with the other two on their STO runs and ridden by senior jockeys.
This one has a 7lb apprentice on debut. Profile [22 + 3 = 25]
