Sorry jumping fans!

Good question!

I see Helmet has had 3 winners from 4 runners in the UK, but 0 from 17 in Australia.

What are we to make of that?

Randomness. If they're reducing his fee down under in half it doesn't bode well.

There's always going to be a large element of randomness with small samples, but it does seem that Australia is rather more competitive in the area of 2-y-o racing than we are (as you would expect).

Looking at this recent first season sires list, it's tough to succeed in Oz. http://www.breednet.com.au/first-season-sires/

A couple of interestingly bred 2-y-os make their debuts at Naas this evening.

In the first (4.35), the first 6f. race of the season, BEAN FEASA is a Dubai half-sister to Teofilo.

At 6.10 HOW is a full-sister to Minding but she doesn't appear to be the stable's selected.
