Racing Summary

DATE	PROFILE/COMMENTS
29 Mar	Gone Hunting - In general terms a 'Cheap' buy at 8,000gns but a solid price for a lower quality pedigree and unfashionable sire and also quite high by Mick Easterby's standards for whom Bill Turner trains him. Dam won over 5f STO in mid May getting and official rating in the low 70s. Has produced similar quality with her foals. A usable 5f, early, pedigree if lacking in development class. Trainer typically runs all his early 2yos in the first 2-3 weeks of the season and gets FTO winners because of their nous and fitness. Won the Brocklesby last week with a filly for this owner and Gone Hunting was also entered. Likely to lack the class of at least a couple in the field and the trainer likes to win claimers & sellers at heart. But, likely to be ready to run to a high level within his ability and capable of benefiting if the better types aren't ready to perform.
07 Apr	You really can't face betting on these and looking at Gone Hunting you think well at least he has got some muscle compared to most here. You didn't like him at Kempton in the group for that race but in this quintet he looks ok and stands out at the best muscled. He shortens in the betting and just manages to scrape home while looking limited and needing the 7lbs relief in weight to hold off a horse who gave him a 5 length headstart. Mr Turner has now won with both the 2yos he has for Mick Easterby so it's 'job done' and very hard to see how this one is going to win anything else until dropped to claimers.
