| DATE | PROFILE/COMMENTS |
| 04 May | Paul Cole doesn't run horses on debut at Newmarket's Rowley Mile course much and it has decreased in recent seasons. The total since 2002 is 17 of which 4 won and 7 finished 2nd (i.e. 11 of the 17 made the first two). His last six debuts have brought three wins (including the good types Luck Money & Governor Eliot in 2007) and three seconds. His better horses are usually primed to compete well FTO. Which means that Desire To Excel wouldn't just be here for a day out. At 150,000gns he was expensive for a son of Desert Style and comes from a well related female line. Add in the same major owner as Cole won on a debut race for with Strategic Prince (another 150,000gns purchase) and you wouldn't be surprised is he came with a strongish 'word' for him. |
| 06 May | The next one to be seen is Paul Cole's Desire To Excel. The trainer has been turning out horses looking shinier and fitter than practically any other trainer since the start of the turf season and many of his 2yos can show some spark and life. This one isn't like this and is much more laid back and lacking the shine (Picture). However, he's a classic compact, very deep bodied and powerful 'barrel' of a sprinter and moves well with it. Try looking at this Picture of useful 2yo Red Alert Day from 2007 to see a similar model. He is apparently pretty lazy at home and that's partly why he doesn't look as tuned and polished as many a Cole runner. A solid run in third and easy to believe he's a better type who will probably end up in 6f Group races in later season. |
