Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
09 Apr So, the question is what type is his Kingswinford? On pedigree grounds he is fine for a usable OR70+ rating 2yo and the sire can get the odd early one. The Evans debut runners have been ready to compete for the most part this year so he obviously has a solid profile. On balance it's unlikely he's as good as Vhujon but a strong contender in this thinner field than 2007.
12 Apr While we're thinking about physical types that trainer's buy (and produce & amplify by their feeding & training regimes) Kingswinford was classic David Evans as well. He buys at a lower level than Hannon and good 'build' & barrel chests normally adds to the cost (quite what happened with April Pride is a questions - perhaps she made a mess of the breeze part). Evans has small, narrow types often and in getting them fit makes them look even more greyhound like. A lot of them prove to be moderate but some will have the combination of good movement and enough build to make them usable or better.
  • The trainer won the race with Vhujon the previous year and he was that bit bigger, more well-built, rangy and forward in condition. Kingswinford looked too much on the narrow side to be better than a ready, early 2yo. The way the race went seemed to confirm that. Both lead after a furlong but the jockey on Vhujon couldn't resist letting him go off in top gear while Kingswinford was held onto in a narrow lead off an average pace. He then got outpaced and outfinished by two more well built rivals and it isn't really much more complicated than that. Perhaps around a 70 rater.
