Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
10 May At Ascot the 5f maiden race has a much smaller field than 2007 (Result) which produced 7 later winners including the Windsor Castle victor (Drawnfromthepast) and the Coventry Stakes third (Swiss Franc). This year's field of five looks a bit shorter on quality, as well as numbers, on profile. The obvious place to start is with the sole filly in the group with Glamorous Spirit. Yesterday's preview laboured the 'Noseda debut' approach and he didn't let us down with Mythical Border routing a suspect group having drifted to 5/1 which looked good before the event and a right royal bargain after it. He's two from two with 2008 debuts and here he starts out another better profile type earlier than his usual - he must be ahead of schedule or have a stable stuffed with talent this year.
  • Glamorous Spirit was bought for a relatively expensive £105,000 as a 2yo at Kempton's breeze up sales that has already produced some early debut winners. She's owned by a partnership called 'The Searchers' for whom he had debut wins with Fleeting Spirit & Strike The Deal last year (plus a duff one called Lemon N Sugar who cost $350k just to prove isn't all just too easy...). This on has a solid 2yo pedigree and is out of a dam by Air Express who was a loss as a sire when he only had a couple of small crops before he died (including the useful fillies Airwave & Presto Vento). The trainer is 1 from 4 with debuts at Ascot (all in July previously) and the win was by Group 1 winner Carry On Katie while the other three were average types, at best.
