Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
June 3rd: Thirsk
6f Maiden Fillies'
  • Owner bred by Maktoum Al Maktoum.
  • High class, US based, sire has a very good record with his British raced 2yos which have included a good proportion of useful+ 2yos. He gets winners from 6f upwards and from June onwards. His FTO win record is above average.
  • Dam trained in France and won Group races over 8f in the first half of her 3yo season. She has produced one high class middle distance runner to a less precocious sire (Rainbow Quest).
  • 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. 
  • He is in the period when they debut the better 6f+ 2yos. One of these has won FTO at Ripon despite a problematic run.
  • In 2003-4 he introduced 23 2yos in June with 3 FTO wins and a number of above average 2yos were beaten and the winners were superior. They were a range of types from Group winners down to moderate maidens.
  • In summary a very good pedigree and possibly a good sign she runs quite early in the season. However, she would need to be better than useful to win but there's a solid chance that she is on pedigree.  Profile [69]
  • June 19th: Pontefract
    6f Maiden Fillies'
  • 14/1 at Thrisk and a relatively long SP for a trainer debut. Looked medium size and with ok athleticism. Outside draw and broke wider by 2 widths out of oi. Ran freely in the first furlong to cross in front of the field to race one off the rail. Led by a neck at halfway but dropped back to third 1f out. Hung left (as most trainer runners seems to when they fade). Estimate [55]
  • Just an average type in appearance and vibes on debut. Solid improvement. Profile [69]
