Navan Mon Apr 24 2yo race review

Navan 1625 Monday April 24 EBF Maiden 5f182yds, 1m12.36s (slow by 3.36s) Good (Good to Firm in places) Romanised . Feb 5. Half-brother to winners including two over two miles. Broke well, settled just behind the pace. Jockey made to wait until the furlong when he worked into the clear. Unleashed a short sprint to win on the line. Brick By Brick . Mar 16 foal, 34k gns foal. Half-brother to a couple of decent types. Stable flying, trainer can get a decent 2yo as well as win G1s over obstacles. Broke well, straight to the front along rail. Set strong pace, urged along at 2f and left rivals flat-footed. Only claimed on the post by smart winner. Canny ride. Declarationofpeace . $2.6m yearling. Half-brother to Belmont winner Honor Code.

Trainer won 2yo race here previous day. Broke well, set...

Only got clear inside the final furlong, ran on strongly when gaps appeared, seemed to have quite a bit left in tank. Visually impressive, more to come. Rated equal top 2yo race in Ireland (RPR figures) so far this season. Crown Leah . Mar 19, €34k yearling. Dam won a 2yo maiden and then a C7 off 45. Began well, sat just behind the pace. Urged along inside 2f and took lead at furlong pole. Looked home until Too Familiar got clear and dove through on her inside. Nice run. Summerseat Mist . Expected to go well after close third at Dundalk on debut, second has since won. Away well, straight to the front in a line of four. Pushed along inside 2f, beat off the other front-runn...
