2021 2yos including Colin's First Season Sires

Saturday

An across the card double takes Cotai Glory further ahead.
At Newbury Tropez Power (Hannon) gets it on a disqualification.
At Ripon Hollow Steel (Alice Haynes) takes the first.

Caravaggio (Stack) gets a long-priced winner at the Curragh when John the Baptist noses out the AOB favourite.
 
Sunday

Two FSS w inners at Redcar. Young Mr Boughey, after some time, wins with Uncs (Gallileo Gold). while Ed Bethell has a win with Exminster (Ribchester).
 
Would be wrong not to mention the victory of Kevin Ryan's Atomic Force in the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly yesterday. Has run 4 times, winning 3 including another listed event at Chantilly. First time out he was a beaten favourite. He is by Cotai Glory and a look at his pedigree suggests he could get a bit further. He is a gelding.
 
Wednesday

Taj Alola (Burke) scores at Caterick for El Kebeir. Looked a useful debut.
Porsche Cavalier (Cotai Glory) won for Brisland at Sandown.
 
It looks as if Kodiac is no longer the top sire of 2-y-os. After topping the table in 2017,18 and 19 he had to settle for second place behind the new go to 2-y-o sire Mehmas last year. Mehmas, with 29 winners so far this year, is well ahead of Cotai Glory on 21, Ardad and Havana Gold on 18 with Kodiac in fourth place on 17.

That's because he'd become respectable by 2017 and was sent better broodmares in 2018. It always works. Personally I blame you Colin, you were banging on in 2013/4 about what a good sire he was.
 
Friday
Renaissance (Caravaggio) for Fahey at Thirsk
Glengarra (Profitable) for Twomey, and Head Mistress (Profitable) for Lyons, both at Down Royal
Object (Aclaim) for Meade at Newmarket
 
Plenty of 2yo races this week but unless I missed one (or two) could only see Saturday's winner Galileo Glass (by Galileo Gold), trained by Holland, winning at Doncaster.
