SUMMARY

Stalls Stands Side.



=== Pre Race ===

Channon had his worth season in about 20 years in 2014 and part of a decline in his record with 2yos over a number of years. No improvement in 2015 and to race 232 his record was worse than in 2014. in 2014 he had 30 runners who made 78 runs for 9 wins. This year it is down at 20 runners making 54 runs for 5 wins. Nothing against a reliable trainer who takes 2yo racing seriously and you keep expecting a few better types will come along and debut. Instead, here we get the sort of home bred (cheaply retained at the sales) that Channon has let himself get infested with. Last work video for Epsom Icon from June 26th working with 2 other unraced 2yos = Siri & Summer Icon, who are both home breds by his 'pet' stallions. They are led in the work by small 3yo maiden filly El Che (placed off 62 LTO) who is another home bred pet stallion product. Mick, when there was the one one/two of theese types and they often could win Maidens it was an interesting sideline. Right now, its dragging the whole ship under. The work is over an uphill 7f and Epsom Icon ends up going clearwith Siri and Summer Icon left behind. Lead horse eased. All 4 looking smaller to small ones. Epsom Icon showing a solid KA and head right and offerring to hang left at times.

Given the price, the price jump from 1yo and the lack of pedigree going into the Breeze Video for Spennithorne expecting to see some evidence for the price being clear visually. No side-on and Vid starts with Spennithorne alread into the last 2f and up to speed. On the plus side she points her toe, leg recovery & use is straight and a clean looking mover. Drifts left a bit overall though. High end positive for price not that obvious in size. An ok medium one and perhaps abit above medium build in front. Some body length which she uses. Looking like a fill where the movement will make the difference if she is above 75 by much more than a bit.

=== Post Race ===

Field initially looking as if they might split into two groups with She's All Mine with La Rioja taking one group centre track. Basma initially Stds-Cent strip and pulling much too hard and leading a group with a split. With jk holding Basma hard and not fully settling her he took the decision to switch over to join the centre group and try to drop in. Taking the group behind with her. Looking a usable Average pace.

With Basma too free and failing and She's All Mine & Geendolyn sub 75 types supported for Trainer Respect reasons then La Rioja probably not left with much to beat. But, doing it in a manner to suggest a solid 80+ one. In thinking that "there must be something behind" worth looking at the 2014 result. A Candy STO won it by 2L with the 4th 9.5L back. The Candy winner won a Nursery off OR77 and the only other winners in the 16 filly field were a seller winner in 6th and a 75+ Auction winner for Charlton who ran poorly (plus another filly who ran in the Oaks this year as a maiden). Anything in the ruck here? See what VP says but, for eg, Alamode seemed to do more than just stay on from last. Is Catchment a heavy filly and not fit enough nor in forward enough condition here?

[July 9th] Greenfyre a lower 70s type and sub full Open Maiden level. Got a clean runt hrough the race and racing widest to Far Side overall and perhaps some advanatge. Volunteer 2nd in that behind the winner there wasn't much 75+ substance to this race and many unready in different ways. Greenfyre running in the fillies' 6f Maiden STO with Moore riding and around 2/1 forecast favourite. That maiden has a variable quality history and smaller fields in 2015 witht he race divided. That might leave a poorly defended Div I for Greenfyre but she has to be opposed as favourite and the job to find what are the bigger/better alternatives.
