March 24th: |
One of two trainer runners in the 8 runner Brocklesby from 4 entries. With
TE Durcan in Dubai this one is ridden by T. Quinn and Flying Lion (trainer
Bred) by stable apprentice E. Creighton. Difficult to pick which is preferred
on this evidence. Consider that E. Creighton rode the trainer bred Queen
Of Fire to a 50/1 debut success at Newbury in 2005 before she was sold.
Trainer does not target strong debuts but they come along with the better
2yos (for example Wovoka, Flashy Wings, Upper Hand & Queen Of Fire
in 2005). He has a 30% debut reacord in March in the period 2002-5 though
and his only previous runner in 2006 - Hephaestus won at Lingfield FTO.
First season sire was an earlyish season 5f winner in France (in the days
when DR Loder trained for Godolphin in France).
Dam unraced but well related. Her previous two foals have been trained
in Ireland with one showing moiderate placed form.
