It has been very quiet on here of late purely down to the fact I haven't seen anything that wasn't obvious to everyone.
However at Warwick last Thursday afternoon I saw an interesting 2-y-o debut by NICEOFYOUTOTELLME. By Hernando out of a Swain mare he is likely to be suited by further than this sharp seven furlongs and he didn't have the best of luck in running as the stalls opened the horse on his outside barged into him and he lost at least a length and a certain amount of momentum. This left him at the rear of the field and with the associated problems of getting through the scrum, he made smooth progress as they made the turn into the straight and ran on so well that he almost justified favouritism only going down half a length to yet another Hannon-trained 2-y-o winner. A maiden looks certain probably over more of a stamina test.
On to the evening meeting at Doncaster and the six-furlong 2-y-o maiden at 7.00. MAGIC BOUNTY, trained by Tim Easterby and ridden by Lance Betts was having his second run and surprisingly, he ran well enough on debut, was allowed to go off virtually unbacked at 25/1. The horse was hampered at the start and the rider didn't seem to bothered about making the ground up quickly and was still some way behind the leaders entering the final two furlongs. Magic Bounty then ran on nicely without undue effort from the saddle to finish a running-on sixth beaten six lengths. I fancy this one may well be nursery bound.
