Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
23 Mar Shadow Bay - Had everything in his favour in terms of draw and track position and got away well enough but steadily faded from halfway. If he is running this early for Channon he will win but on the ability shown he's more an OR65-72 rater. Presume he'll switch to AW or wait for better ground.
07 Apr The disappointment started early when Shadow Bay came into the pre-parade ring. The phrase 'small wimp' pops into the mind. Mick Channon has run some good ones at the opening Doncaster meeting over the years including Mac Love who finished a promising fourth in the Brocklesby. This might have suggested Shadow Bay was likely to be an OR75+ rater but on looks here he's more the Hephaestus/Goose Green end of the market of the trainer's early runners. A 65 rater downhill, with a bit of a gale behind him. But, he isn't able to get anywhere near that level at present because he's such a scared, mentally young, mouse. Clinging to his handler.
  • If you watch the VT of the Brocklesby you'll see him curl up after halfway when he had a usable position and the jockey look down as he tries to get some response. Nothing happens and the jockey gives up. He attracts some support here in a market with a weak favourite but runs the same way. Starts well and gets into a line-of-four contest for the lead. He's 3 off the rail so sensibly the jockey drops him in. Then, it happens again. The pace starts quicken on the downhill section and the jockey is animated in asking for some response but he just drifts away and loses ground. It looks like he's 'mentally backed out of it' both times when the going got a little tougher. Not a 70+ rater anyway and needs to grow up to reach the potential he has.
