SUMMARY
Rail stands side and field race stands' rail. Slow time and a large 2.5s slower than the faster of the Auction races on yesterday's card here. Warm & dry weather in between but course watering regularly = 7mm (Mon), 8mm (Tues & Weds) & 6mm (Thurs). Following 3yo Classified race won in 74.47s with same weight (OR75 Flaneur) and only 0.18s faster than the 2yo race yesterday suggesting conditions less quick on day than the previous one? But, still not explain a 77s & change time and moderate form.
Odd Market with Colourful Past opening favourite despite the fact trainer Zarooni's debuts have been woeful with one exception. Cerejeira run for Eric Alston who has had a single debut winner (in October) in more than 10 years. Two thin profiles for strong debuts. Cerejeirs a Breeze-up purchase so not a typical Alston prep. Travelled like the winner for 4F but in a pocket on the rail and soon faded after switching out to try to get a run. A moderate profile with trainer McCabe having a poor run with 2yos this season.
BOF not look a 5f filly on debut and set the pace here. Not see race out and with three fillies fading was the pace a little strong?
Which left Fork Handles as the Default likely winner in a weak race. Trainer Channon not get many debut winners and this his first in around 25 goes in 2010. The period from Mid-May to early June the most likely period for a 'Batch' of debut winners and often with his Better types. FTO wins typical for a small Group of owners which can be characterised as 'Me, my mates & the Maktoums (& their muckers..)'. This one bred by Channon at his Norman Court Stud and owned by him so a typical 'Me' debut winner type. Sending this type 'Up Country' often the case as well. Lucky Leigh at Redcar in 2008 the last example & Northern debuts rare.
FH sloppy in the stalls and leant on the side when the stalls opened which you think Fallon should have corrected (is it just B2yoR or is Fallon below his best in the details at present). Predictably lost ground at the start and flopping around at the back for agood while. Given the other three faded perhaps an advantage. Able to plug through for a win but a moderate form level in an uncompetitive race. On the plus side a goos size and bigger & better built than BOF.
