At the Start
Full Authority (Chester 4.05) first of second crop of KINGMAN to run.
Yesterday Three Coins gave Fountain of Youth (who him?: well actually a well-bred sire by Oasis Dream out of Attraction) his first winner.
Guineas winner Night of Thunder has his first winner with Expressionist at Ascot today.
Those long in the tooth will remember that the first 2yo race of the year was always the Woodcote Stakes on Derby Day. This year the first 2yo race was yesterday.
Full Authority (Chester 4.05) first of second crop of KINGMAN to run.
Been looking out for them tooCan’t remember seeing any No Nay Never 2yos so far this season.
In a moment of weakness I watched a few Bell gallops. On little evidence I’ll be interested in the debut of Maxi Boy.
A sire I had not recognised, Capella Sansevero (Showcasing), gets an impressive first winner at Haydock with Pierre Lapin. He is not badly bred being a half-brother to Harry Angel.
