D. Nicholls (Thirsk)

 
SUMMARY OF APPROACH TO 2YO RACING :-
  • Large stable and the trainer has made his name with older sprinters including developing those brought in from other stables.
  • Does not target 2yo racing although has had an increased number of runners (usually between 5 and 9) since 2001. His record with 2yos is below average and below his record with older horses.
  • The purchase price of the 2yos he has has varied each year from 2002-4 with the 2002 group bought for between 3k to 11k gns and including on minor winner. In 2003 the group were more expensive at between 12k to 50k gns and he had his best 2yo season in terms of winners and strike rate. In 2004 the range dropped back to between 8k to 36k gns and he had a more 'usual' season with one minor winner and a moderate strike rate.
  • Most 2yos only have between 1-3 runs and the target is to try to win a race in those early runs and then save them for their 3yo season. In each season usually one 2yo runs to 5TO or more and this will normally be a winner who is precocious enough for a longer 2yo career. The stable also claims a small number of 2yos each season.
  • Debut runners tend to be fit and competent and run to within 10lbs of their final rating. The winners tend to develop over their next two runs to show peak form on 3TO and then the form may deteriorate.
  • In line with the readiness of his debut runners there is evidence that a shorter FTP SP (8/1 or less) will indicate a runner they believe capable of showing winning form on S-3TO runs. As ever, strength of the debut race must be considered when assessing this.
