Kempton Monday Apr 24 2yo race review

Kempton 1410 Monday Apr 24 Novice Auction Stakes 5f, Class 5, 59.88s (slow by 1.18s) Standard Corinthia Knight . Won easily on debut and took a significant step up here, improving 15pts on RPR figures (95). Jumped well, straight to the lead, controlled the pace. Shot clear on straightening, excellent turn of foot, absolutely pissed in. This is a Group horse, Royal Ascot bound for sure. Autumn Lodge . Third run of career already. Sensibly held rail behind the leader while others wanted to go around the tight bend and face the breeze. Shesgotthelot . Feb 24. Vendor buyback as yearling, £4k. Half-brother to New Bidder, OR98, winner of six races so far. Rest of the family quite limited. Slow to begin, out the back early.

Challenged on straightening under confident ride, took control, kept on nicely. Dragon's Teeth , Apr 15. Backed up from the weaker division of the Brocklesby where he led and found nothing under pressure. Well backed into 2/1 (they bet 5/1 in the morning). Led, not a lot of peace, properly challenged on straightening, started to weakened but hung on well to retain second. Quick Skips Lad . Third start in a fortnight for this one. Sat on the rail behind the leaders, switched into the clear over a furlong out, kept working but just unable to claim second. Kodiac Express , Apr 12. Sold twice as a yearling, €64k and then 50k gns eight months later. Second foal, half-sister yet to race. The Racin...
