Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
29 Mar Buckle Up was bred by the trainer and has managed a minor 5f 2yo win with a sibling. He is very much a develop with racing trainer so he shouldn't be competitive and more one to assess for being better than the other foals.
21 Apr It is worth a quick aside on Buckle Up who runs STO for Dean Ivory because it makes a good point about how with Paddock Review you can be affected by the quality of the overall field. On his debut at Kempton in the Class 4 race behind Asaint Needs Brass he looked a perfectly solid type in the context of that group aside from being less good than the winner. He also looked forward in condition. He ran a shocker because of not handling the track but the trainer's Dedante ran much better STO and you could have mild thoughts about him doing the same. But, if you look at the VP for the race, and it's a poor picture of him because it never got light at Kempton, he's just too narrow and light compared to the other three. That's before we have had a look at the better newcomers. So, a more competent performance expected but not up to the standards of the better types today.
23 Apr Buckle Up could be assessed properly in this group after the gloom and rugs at Kempton. That paddock review got it right in the sense he's a solid height and raising doubts over his narrowness and light frame. The picture shows that better and he's all leg and no meat.
