Brighton May 3 2yo race review

Brighton 1705 May 3 Novice Median Auction Stakes 5f59yds, Class 5, 1m1.66s (slow by 1.06s) Good Cardsharp . Mar 3, half-brother to three winners. This wasn't a difficult debut assignment and the money gave a strong indication he meant business. Jumped well, crossed to the rail to lead. Drifted off rail going down the hill but accelerated well when shaken up by Joe Fanning. Whip not used, comfortably. Milton Road . Third start of career, second at this track a week ago. Sat outside Cardsharp, tried to challenge as they flattened out but outpaced by winner, simply battled on. Felisa . Fourth on debut at Wolverhampton. Bit green early, didn't like sitting behind others and hooked wide. Outpaced when the others got going but came home well in final 50m, very strong through the line which is dangerous at Brighton (comes to a dead end)! Captain Kissinger . Unlucky less than 24hrs earlier at Wolverhampton, when copped significant check in the straight. Sat behind leader on ra...

Brighton Tues May 2 2yo race review

Brighton 1400 Tues May 2 Novice Auction Stakes 5f59yds, Class 5, 1m2.58s (slow by 1.98s) Good (Good to Firm in Places) Starlight Mystery . Third on debut at Leicester, missed start slightly here and had to settle behind leader (after being checked). Bit green/unbalanced coming down the hill. Got off the back of leader at 1.5f, went past these easily and kept going. Super Florence . Apr 17, €9k yearling. Settled at tail, caught behind others when winner went for home and always struggling to make that ground up. By Zebedee, should be ready early, will be competitive once she learns to jump. Floss The Hoss . Fourth on debut at Beverley when drawn wrong side. Away well, wanted to overrace early, sat outside leader coming down the hill. Under pressure at the 2f and just battled on from there. Firenze Rosa . 100-1 on debut at Windsor. Led against the rail on a contested lead, went for home at bottom of the hill (2f) and got a small advantage but winner then loomed up and she weaken...

Brighton Tues Apr 25 2yo race review

Brighton 1650 Tuesday April 25 Maiden Stakes 5.5f, Class 5, 1m2.56s (slow by 1.96s) Good to Firm Diamond Pursuit . Fifth at Wolverhampton at 50/1 on debut (made ground to finish fifth, beaten under two lengths at 50/1. Won't be that price next time). No I didn't remember that either ... Sat wide and out of trouble, challenged for lead once they got to the bottom of the hill and was able to balance up. Took long time to wind up, just got there on the line. Milton Road . Midfield on debut at Windsor, showed some promise. Pushed through in the middle upon straightening, squeezed slightly 100yds out which stopped jockey using whip when desired rather than stopping the horse. Just nosed out. Declarationoflove . Fourth on debut at Windsor 15 days earlier. Straight to the front, challenged inside the furlong, couldn't sustain run and weakened late. Controversial Lady . Limited in first two starts. Contested lead, one off the rail. Went backwards from the 1f pole. Globa...
