Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
29 Mar Comanche Trail - absolutely fascinating. A real "What's this one doing here?" entrant. Not sold for a highish £47,000 at the 2yo breeze-up sales at Kempton three weeks ago. By a first season sire with a stayer's pedigree who you wouldn't expect to have many mid-season runners, let alone March - although the breeze-up sale preparation will have had some effect. Ok, so the dam's side is all-speed then? Well, no....she was unraced but by a very non-precocious sire although has managed to produce a 6f winner to a miler.
  • The trainer hasn't had a runner before mid-May in recent years. His earlier debuts when he does start include the later winners with 5 winners from 16 who made May to early-July debuts since 2003 and just 1 from 14 with the post August ones. He doesn't get debut winners though and the debuts are normally uncompetitive. The one debut winner he has got was at 33/1 with a horse who was well back 5th of 7 having it's ears scrubbed off at halfway before wandering past the exhausted pacemakers late on. The Listed quality Tabaret has been his only other strong competer who demonstrated his innate ability by closing late from a bungled first part of the race.
  • An interesting contender because there is no obvious pedigree or trainer reason for him to be here. One to check for signs of ability.
