Declared for 5f Leicester maiden. Trainer has a poor record with 2yos having
made his name with (rejuvenated) older sprinters. His 'strategy' with 2yos
has been to buy cheap fillies, get them very fit for debut and run them
in early season. In general, how long they last at, or near, the front
FTO is a fair indication of their ability.
Even this unsuccessful strategy has got 'lost' recently and even the odd
debut placer was absent in 2005. Seems to have a little more money to spend
now and buys colts as well.
Sire has a moderate record overall but the winners tend to be at 5-6f in
the first half of the season.
Dam showed poor form over a range of distances.
