Diary: March 27 2008

 

There tends to be a bit of a lull between the Lincoln and the Grand National and tomorrow’s meetings don’t look very attractive.

Rather than preview Thursday’s action I have been taking a look at some of the 2 year olds that we will be watching during the flat season.  The following caught my eye.

Bourne (L Cumani) The dam won over 10 furlongs and comes from the family of St Leger winner Arctic Owl so this one may be better as 3.

Paisley (L Cumani) The dam, Pongee, won several races including the Group 2 Lancashire Oaks at Haydock.  Another that will probably need time.

Tinkerbelle (J Dunlop) By Marju out of a winning dam who was related to several other winners including Persian Lightning.

King’s Song (M Stoute) By Indian Ridge out of the dam of Alleviate, who was a multiple winner for Sir Mark Prescott and the high class Allegretto.

Quinsman (J Hills) A Singspiel colt out of a consistent mare that won 3 times (maximum 8 furlongs) when trained by Mark Johnston.

Crainza (P Chapple-Hyam) By Polish Precedent out of a mare that won at two, and twice at 3.

Impressible (E Alston) This one is bred to be speedy being a half sister to Reverence.  She is by Oasis Dream himself a top class sprinter.

Border Patrol (R Charlton) This one is a half brother to any number of winners and if pedigree is anything to go by should be nailed on to land a race or two.

I will take a look at some more juveniles over the next few weeks.
