SUMMARY

Global Applause won £6,489 (Race Penalty Value) with this just a piddling Class 4 maiden despite the Course & Classic Day combination. Add to that £10,000 for the 'Plus 10' bonus scheme and a further £25,000 as part of the Tattersalls Bonus Scheme. The latter targetted at graduates of their 'Book 1' Premier Yearling sale which won maidens (now Novices) in the first half of the season. Global Applause coming with unusual pre-race circumstantials which shouted he was a better-class natural. Trainer Dunlop gets the odd FTO win but it usually needs an OR90+ one who needs below average mental prep. Debut places are typical for Group winners and even some of those are unplaced FTO. Which meant GA as short priced favourite with Ryan Moore riding suggested this was not one who was just "showing up well on the gallops. ". Ed Dunlop's Website News day after this race = "Global Applause was our second runner on the card and we were quietly confident he would run well on his career debut. The son of Mayson has always been very professional at home and we hoped he could translate it onto the track. Ryan Moore soon had him racing handily in behind the leader and when he asked him to quicken he went clear and put the race to bed between the two and one furlong poles. He edged over to the near side rail and ran on well to win very comfortably by three and three quarters lengths from the Richard Hannon trained Hakeem.He may now head to the National Stakes on May 26th at Sandown which is a Listed contest run over five furlongs before heading on to Royal Ascot. It was a very exciting performance and there were some well touted individuals behind him that looked promising in their own right. It will be interesting to see how they perform when they are next seen but our colt was very professional and we hope he can prove to be top class in time.". ==== Review Notes contributed by @hughonthehill (Twitter handle) ===== ==== Note :- The ratings number at the end of each review summary is an estimate of what OR they might reach rather than a reflection of how they ran on the day. See the Paddock Review Rating Section on this website for reference. Global Applause review Arrived expecting to find something to beat Ed Dunlop’s short priced Global Applause. In the event he was well prepared, calling a bit but mainly calm and raced very professionally. Global Applause – Very top end of medium, deep chested and powerful in shoulder and hind quarters, looking fully fit. Coat almost as shiny as Palmer’s Gulliver. Good proportions. 90 Hakeem – Lower end of medium, close coupled, sunshine makes his condition look better than first impression. Sleepy in the pre-parade. Less muscle definition/readiness than Dunlop’s GA and Palmer’s Gulliver as has been the case with most of Hannon’s runners. He seems to leave a bit more to work with than Palmer. 83 Top Score – bigger than Hakeem but not as big as G A, so about medium, lighter through the body and athletic. Very green, screaming, colty, on his toes, at various times reluctant to be saddled, using up a lot of energy. Lost his chance in the pre-parade but then shortened in the market as he was calm down in the paddock. Given earlier behaviour ran very well and weakening in last 1f due to earlier playfulness rather than lack of quality. 87 Gulliver – Attractive rich chestnut colour and Palmer trademark gleaming coat. Not as tall as Top Score or GA. Bulkier than Hyperfocus but not quite as hard fit as that debut winner. Ready type, well behaved in prelims but green on way to start and in race 81 Await The Storm – top end of small, good proportions, no more than 90% fit. Proximity at finish helps to hold down overall ratings 74 Toy Theatre – Big Lonhro filly, above medium size. Green in pre-parade and testing handlers patience. Not close to fully fit as suggested by antepost market. Raced wide with open space in front of her and only ever shown the stick, jinked right at start and never put in race. Needed experience and improve. 80 Rose Berry – Small ready type, fairly fit with decent sized back end. Should win a lesser course maiden if trainer can get improvement. 73 Charlie Chaplin – Probably a case of the best 2yo in the stable being over-estimated due to absence of good peers to compare with. Looked a class and a half below the first four. Well made and strong in a small to lower medium frame. 74 Walter Raleigh – A typical John Ryan huge one. He seems to buy big gangly ones. Very green and goofy, had a companion throughout his time in the pre-parade to give him a lead. Using a lot of energy fooling about beforehand. Tall, 95% fit, quite athletic but is his backend big enough to push the rest of his frame? Inclined to think he could be 80s but whether trainer can get him to behave and apply himself is an open question. 77 for now. ================== Jk Moore in the news a bit during the week and we learnt that (a) he swears a lot, (b) he reads a lot of sports biographies, (c) he sees his role as an 'race path efficiency controller', and (d) he thinks sports interviews are pointless because every one says the same thing. The last point most annoying because he is exempting himself from any blame. Ryan, you are in a position to change that - steer the interviews into more productive areas, etc. But, that may well be beyond him given his, apparently, stunted social skills. You think back to the time of watching Moore in, an otherwise empty, the FOLK PRing with a nobody jk (the one who caused himself 2nd Degree burns pouring Hot Oil rather than water onto himself in the jk's sauna) and the toe-curlingly embarrassing job he made of simple small talk. It's another jk Ryan, talk horses, burns, the weather, where-is-everybody?, etc. It was like watching someone who had been brought up by horses in a small British Colony and whose only knowledge of Western Social Etiquette came from one reading part of a dusty British Council manual. Or just landed from Mars.
