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.
