Racing Summary
DATE PROFILE/COMMENTS
July 4th: Windsor
6f Maiden
  • Made a solid price at the Doncaster St Leger sales.
  • Reviewed at the sales and rated 65 and with a just below average chance of being a 2yo winner at his level. Small but with well above average build and in proportion overall. Probably a little trundler unless developed well.
  • Sire has below average record with 2yos after his Hamdam Al Maktoum supported first season in 2001. Gets odd 5f winner but runners tend to need 6f+. Runners tend to be better from mid-season onwards.  
  • Sire had one minor 5f win from 9 runners so far with most poor to moderate quality.
  • Dam showed useful form over 7f+ although only won one race in three seasons while placing 14 times.
  • Trainer's debuts has been consistent in 2005 and have been competent while lacking the final edge. All of the first nine debuts have made the first 6 although only the best type has won (in a slow race on soft ground where a number of others did not act on the ground.).
  • This is the first debut since the 9th of June and he has said in interview that he has a second batch of 2yos to start with after 'Royal Ascot' and they included some that were better than the early batch (5 winners from 12 runners).
  • In summary did not look a better type at the sales and probably more of a 7f+ development type for nurseries. Well drawn but only the trainer's best types have won or placed FTO so far.  Profile [50]
