2-y-os 2016 incorporating First Season Sires

[LUKE]

Before the race APOB said they have never had a faster 2yo than Carvaggio.

[LUKE]

I would have him as a 6/4 shot for the Coventry -PP go 7/1.

[SlimChance]

Norfolk must be a big runner. 7/1 is too big though.

[LUKE]

Wes Ward might be a factor in which race he goes for.

[Colin Phillips]

Broken Stones a winner for FSS REQUINTO at York.

[Colin Phillips]

Of the five I mentioned yesterday only one failed to give an each-way return.

That's not important, here is the up-to-date table of winners for First Season Sires:

[Eleanora Duse]

Bell runs his second 2yo today and it is Notalot who is by the FSS Sir Prancealot. He was the 4th member of the Hart Stopper/Elementary gallop and very much 4th in terms of performance. However with a hood applied he’s apparently come on a great deal. So I’ve now seen him in a two-horse gallop with Elementary and though Elementary looks to hold Notalot for most of the gallop at the business end it is Notalot who has the upper hand. So a good run from Notalot would increase any confidence Bell has, and we should have, in his 2yos.

[Colin Phillips]

Notalot's run not too encouraging, ED.

Loved the chat with Giles Bravery, the winning trainer, difficult to take him seriously but makes me laugh, I once was interviewed by him in his kitchen with his young baby on his lap.

[Colin Phillips]

In the first at Windsor, Barrington a winner for FSS CASAMENTO.

So far not looking too kushti for Bell.

I remember an interview with Bravery after he'd won the Cherry Hinton, think the filly was Zeit Unseen or something. He was very ebullient and his message was 'give me the tools and I'll finish the job'. With some trainers I wonder if give me the the job and I'll finish the tools shouldn't be their catchphrase.

Barrington's win backs up the the form of that race at Newbury the other day.

[Colin Phillips]

He won the Cherry Hinton with Torgau in !999. I believe his staff all received nice presents after that win.

That's right, she was by Zeiten.

[Colin Phillips]

Global Applause takes the National Stakes at Sandown for FSS MAYSON.

[Colin Phillips]

FSS FRANKEL has his second runner tomorrow, Majoris in the Haydock 2.40. He is the first foal of his dam, Drops, who was no great shakes on the racecourse but she is out of Alexandrova and is a half-sister to Alex My Boy, a winner at Group 2 level in France. Majoris is available at 4/1 at the moment.

[Colin Phillips]

Scofflaw wins on debut for FSS FOXWEDGE at Chester.

Kodiac sires the winners of both the nice 2-y-o races at Beverley.

[Colin Phillips]

Peace Envoy a winner for FSS POWER at Naas this afternoon.

[Colin Phillips]

A good afternoon for FSS followers; REQUINTO taking both divisions at Windsor, Groupie (1.50) and High On Love (2.20) and at Leicester (2.10) Pretty Vacant was a winner for ELZAAM.

[Eleanora Duse]

Bell, with a stable strike rate of less than 7%, runs his 3rd 2yo (Cheval Blanche: this afternoon at Redcar) and she was in the gallop that raised attention that Hart Stopper was near the top of the Bell pile. A subsequent gallop left the impression she was going the right way.
If the stable was in some sort of form you might fancy a dabble but at 4-1 she looks pretty short. Bell badly needs some winners. By the way the sire of this filly is Stay Thirsty (2nd in Belmont Stakes and a son of Bernardini) who looks to be another FSS but I could be wrong.

Am I imagining it or are FSS sires scoring more wins this year than in recent years? Would be interesting to compare the YTD stats.

[Colin Phillips]

.....and Chevalier Blanche duly wins the first at Redcar (despite Jamie's best efforts) for Michael Bell and FSS STAY THIRSTY. While over at Leicester FSS HELMET picks up another win with Thunder Snow.

Thanks for the pointer ED.

PS not sure what "YTD stats" means!
