SUMMARY

Rail out to full extent.
£10k Bonus Race, all runners nominated.
Interesting race on Profile originally. Cathedral Spires a NR to take some interest away. Then El Viento got wound up at the start and gave trouble loading. In the race for the first two furlongs but twices bumped and hampered during that period. Horse appeared to pack it in towards halfway to take away the other worthwhile opponent for Easy Ticket. Jockey interviewed by the stewards after the race said EViento had 'boiled over' at the start. Still an interesting horse for the future if his attitude is not affected by this.
Which left ET with a race to match his name. Comfortable winner and a solid size if leggy and needed to muscle up somewhat. Jockey said to the trainer after the race the horse still felt a bit 'Weak' and perhaps just one more run as a 2yo.
Average pace at best and little to excite any interest behind. Perhaps not give up on Grazeon Again who was given a non-involving ride and green in later race. Another solid size one by new sire Diamond Green. Only 3 wins for the sire so far and possible his 2yos have not been as precocious as the number of runners would suggest. See how they develop as a group in later season with several noted as bigger types but not running up to their appearance.
