Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
April 4th: Declared for
Yarmouth 5.2f Maiden
  • Made good price at Tattersalls Part 2 sales.
  • Reviewed at sales and rated 68 with an above average chance of being competitive as a 2yo. A classic shape and type that owner J Fretwell has (usually with B McMahon in the past). Smallish but heavily built and strong. Deep and wide but lacking some range so needs to be a sprinter.
  • First season sire made good impression at sales and yearlings sold well. B2yoR reviewed 29 of his yearlings and they were a good group and he should have a good 2005. Sire won over 7f at 2yo but reverted to a top class sprinter at 3yo.
  • Dam was a winner in America and has produced two moderate runners so far.
  • Trainer used to have his own small stable but was appointed as private trainer in owner J. Fretwell's new, purpose built stables in 2004. This is his first 2yo runner for that owner.
  • When the trainer had his only stables the better 2yos used to rate around 60-65 on debut and improve 14lbs STO. Interesting to see his approach in his new position.
  • In summary an interesting pedigree but unproven at present. An acceptable type at sales with scope to develop if not obviously 50k gns worth. Trainer has started new post so lack of information on his approach to debut. So, a mixed story but with some strong positives mixed in. Difficult to place on scale.  Profile [60]
  • April 4th: Yarmouth
    5.2f Maiden
  • A disappointment for his new trainer. Opened 16/1 and received some support to 12/1. Slightly slow break but never got into the race and showed little. The important owner's other trainer has shown similar runs with his 2yos. Estimate [30]
  • April 24th: Brighton
    5.3f Maiden
  • A longer SP, although a little each-way support, on debut and a poor run. Has the sales review and profile to be a a just over 70+ rater. Track for better run for his new trainer here.  Profile [55]
  • Disappointing on his debut when he received each-way support from 16/1 to 12/1 and was the first runner for his trainer in his new job. Again received support here from 16/1 to 10/1 in a market where several were supported. Broke well and a close third after one furlong before dropping back to 2 lengths off the contested pace at halfway. Made an effort to move through to lead briefly as the leaders faded but was relatively easily picked up by Zato. A much improved run and more in line with the expectations on debut (note for trainer's methods) and with his sales review. Can develop a little further to be the 70+ sprint winner as expected. Estimate [69]
  • May 12th:  Carlisle
    5f Maiden
  • The trainer has been quite selective with the 2yos he has run so far and had three winners with two horses since this one last ran. Profile [72]
  • May 20th: Bath
    5.7f Maiden
  • 5/2f at Carlisle in a moderate race overall and a moderate pace producing below expectation ratings. Tracked the pacemaker by a length at halfway and still had a length to make with a furlong to go. Made back most of that by the line and keeping on but the winner looked to be holding him slightly comfortably. Other newcomers which ran wider up the straight showed similar strong finishes.  Estimate [62]
  • Steps up to 5.7f and that looks an advantage give that he has been keeping on at the end of his last two races. Probably has little improvement and slightly limited by his size.  Profile [69]
  • May 27th: Wolverhampton
    6f Maiden
  • Non runner at Bath and runs 7 days later over 6f on the AW.  Profile [70]
