DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
Sales Ratings :- [ Rating: 69 ]      [ Full Rating: 338 ]
05 Apr The most interesting contender is Michael Dods Compton Ford. The trainer has been included in the long shot FTO P&L tracking because, to a large extent, what you see on debut is what the horse is. It's ready to go and the market usually discounts Mr Dods as unfashionable. The earliest of his debuts each season will include the best of his precocious 2yos and if they don't win or place FTO they probably aren't very good. In the last 5 seasons he has trained 13 individual juvenile winners. & of that 13 have won FTO and another 3 have placed 2nd or 3rd. The only horse to have won for him in the period 2005-7 who didn't make the first three on debut was his first runner in 2006 - Joseph Locke. He finished 4th but had to be dropped to seller class to win and indicative that he was probably at his best FTO but lacked the basic ability.
  • Given that background you wouldn't mind a bit each-way on Compton Ford regardless. To add a bit of credibility his sales report is ok as well. Bigger than the average yearling as many by his sire are (similar to Raimond Ridge's sire Namid who are both sons of Indian Ridge). Narrow but solid power behind and just enough quality for this type of early season race. His dam was the hugely frustrating Coffee Time who placed 19 times without winning. She ran well over 5f early in her 2yo year and managed to wangle a place in the Hilary Needler without showing anything better than 70s rating form. She's already produced a 5f 2yo winner. A likeable profile.
