SUMMARY

Somewhat baffling what the story is with Bonfire Heart before the race. Cost 200k at a Breeze up sale and by a sire who gets lots of precocious sprint 2yos. On the dam's side her best runners have been 3 x precocious 5-6f 2yos. He was bought from a Breeze sale targetted at 2yos and is supposed to be judged by how well he belted along over 2f on turf the day before the sale. Why is he making his debut in mid-Sept over 7.1f [error = 6f], on Tapeta, at WTON? Has he already missed the boat? A check on his video and doesn't add many clues. Looks a well grown and taller one of his sire and just middling bulk. Rider having to hold him hard in the gather area and then blasts over the first 1f+ as fast as he can and gets tired in the last 0.5f. Nothing there to suggest he isn't a sprinter and not far from ready to run (Mid April sale).

=== Post Race ===

Messy race with a Slow Pace. Bonfire Heart not standing out for size in the field but unable to show what she might be able to do. Partly because of the Messy nature of the Race and partly because BH a bit green and lacking the nous to immediately respond when asked by the jk. Slowish start then running a bit too free in 2R and 2 wide overall. Slightly niggled at times on the bend then the jk stood up into the HS with no room for BH to go forward and then hampered back. Again, taking time to pick up again and when responding in the last 1f crossed around 0.5f out. A bit head to the right and not going forward fully. Need to see if she looks more professional STO because the run here a poor indicator of what she can do.
