2-y-os 2016 incorporating First Season Sires

Five winners for FSS yesterday:

HELMET - Timeless Flight - York 1.55
BORN TO SEA - Sea Of Grace - Tipperary 2.05
SEPOY - Dabyah - Newmarket 2.15
POWER - Pleaseletmewin - Newmarket 2.50
NATHANIEL - Paulownia - Ascot 3.50

Still very tight at the top of the table FSS by wins:

HELMET
MAYSON
ELZAAM
SIR PRANCELOT

all have nine wins.
 
Helmet's started very well, especially off a fee of only £8k, and he won't have had anything like the quality of mares that Frankel's been given.

Not that Frankel's been doing badly of course, in case anyone's offended.
 
Good news from Windsor 6.30 for BennyB as Tis Marvellous wins for FSS HARBOUR WATCH.

Thanks! Think that's 5 now, so still just about in touch with the leaders. With hindsight the 4/1 ish was a terrible price but at least there's some chance of collecting still.

It does seem to be an unusually competitive year. The amusingly named Helmet seems to have risen from nowhere... And I never expected Frankel to have this many early types.
 
Winners yesterday for FSS; Curragh 4.40 POWER (Peace Envoy) and Haydock 7.35 BORN TO SEA (Star Of Rory).

People in raptures over Escobar's win last Friday.
had the good fortune to chat to D K Weld and John Osborne at Curragh today; both think Famous Name will be the business.
Prince Abdulla gifted him to Irish National Stud and is available for 2K a pop.
hopefully lady Sarelle will visit him in 2017 !!

Two interesting two year old at Leicester tonight for Richard Fahey and Fss.

Loving Clarets out of Mayson and Red Bloom. Stable tour of Fahey and he spoke highly of this horse. Dam was second on debut before winning second time out over 7f. Only other progeny was flowing clarets for same connections who won on debut, at Leicester over 6f on soft. Mayson's progeny obviously having a decent first season also. Each way price first thing this morning and I'm having a large each way bet and if doesn't win would expect to be short next time.

Senator for Frankel later on card. Some other likely types and perhaps short on distance so a bit more cautious on this one but an each way price just about. Dam not exciting though so depending on how loving Clarets goes I will have a small bet on this one probably.
 
Cheers Col. Indeed, could be some good horses come out of the 1950. Godolphin horse as well as Hills horse.

Tentative bet because of the Frankel factor. No more!
 
Phew. After a huge flop on my first pick, Frankel comes up trumps. I can't see how Tony Hamilton would have enjoyed that ride, talk about green. Will be winning over a mile soon though and I think will be a very good horse!
