STARZINTHEIREYES
He has got a small issue and won’t appear until the second half of the season which is disappointing. Despite who he is by (Starspangledbanner) I think he is a stayer in the making. I would imagine he won’t appear until around the July Meeting at Newmarket or something like that and we will then work our way into the autumn. Something like a Bahrain Trophy is what we could start him in and he could possibly be a St Leger horse. He outstayed them in the Zetland Stakes so you would think that is a realistic aim. You don’t look at him and think stayer, but his way of running would suggest he is. I thought they went hard in the Zetland and he went better to the line than anything else. His profile suggests that further than a mile and half would be where he will be best suited.


RALPH BECKETT STABLE TOUR TODAY
 
A good friend of mine who I regularly bump into at York races told me to keep an eye out for City of Poets a 3yo trained by James Tate.
It is entered at Thirsk on Saturday (if my memory serves me right he won with Top Rank at the same meeting in 2019).
Top Rank later went on to be listed class.
The trainers two runners today at Nottingham both won readily!!!!
 
Londoner 4.54 Newbury, Saturday

Ran 9 times at 2/3 yo for Aidan O’Brien. Apart from racecourse debut, he achieved RPR’s of between 88 and 102. All runs were between 1m and 1m 2 and a half furlongs. Sold for 35,000gns to the shrewd stable of Jim Goldie at the end of 3yo career, he was generally disappointing last year. However, his first run, over 1m 3f and off 96, was his best, and a repeat would likely be good enough to win this, now down to 80.

For his remaining 11 runs, he was campaigned between 5f (twice, including second run) and a mile. Although his dam won at G1 level over 5f, I think 1m 2f is his trip.

Sold again last October, this time for 22,000gns, he is now with Daniel and Claire Kubler. I think this is a team to watch. They are gradually building their team, improving the size and quality each year. They seem to gradually improve horses and apply science to identify the ideal trip for each horse. I’m hoping that is 10f for Londoner. If it isn’t, I’m pretty sure they will still do well with him this season when they work him out. I also expect the Kubler’s to have a very good season.



Bet365 put him in at 16/1, which quickly disappeared. Now 10/2, which is currently best price (though other bookmakers probably following Bet365 at this stage).

Ran well to be second after making the running.
One for your tracker.
 
Jules Winfield.(A. J. Martin)
Ran away with the Bumper at Ballinrobe Friday evening.
Had I had a racecard, (arrived late so sold out) I may have taken more interest.
By Siyouni ex Montjeu mare whose third dam is a full sister to Triptych, this guy was meant for better than Ballinrobe.
That said these Ballinrobe bumpers are no cake walk, Seo Linn was beaten there on debut last year.
Ran with a tongue tie which might explain how a 40k yearling became a 14 k breeze up purchase but one to watch for.
 
Ambiente Friendly is 13/8 for the Sefton on Tuesday,but I'd guess the Derby 2nd has his eye more on the Coronation Cup,for which he's 16/1 (Hill's) at the moment.

It's a 6600 word document mate, I'm not sure if it would sit well in a general forum reply. Ideally I am looking for a site to host it, I uses to have a site called The Racing Hub feature it but unfortunately the chap that ran the site passed away a couple of years back.

Hello mate any chance you can get this sent over in an email to me if possible please

Thanks
 
Caught a replay of Consecrated who won at Newbury on debut. She's a Frankel half sister to the Nell Gwyn winner, Sacred and looks more than useful. Interestingly Sacred also won twice at Newbury.
