Windsor Mon Apr 24 2yo race review

Windsor 1645 Mon Apr 24 Novice Auction Stakes 5f21yds, Class 5, 59.48s (slow by 0.98s) Good to Firm Yogi's Girl . Green and eased down on debut at Wolverhampton 16 days earlier, had support. Jumped well, crossed to the rail to take the lead. Challenged and whip drawn at the 2f, fought on strongly. Mother of Dragons . Apr 26, €3k yearling. Top connections considering the sale price. Away well, camped just outside leader. Challenged at halfway and fought on well, experience of winner probably making the difference. Aquadabra. Third on debut 16 days earlier at Wolverhampton in low rating race, but made nice ground late. Settled on rail behind Yogi's Girl, eased off fence inside 2f to make his run. Ran on OK but not strongly enough to get past the front two. Daddies Girl. Third on debut here a fortnight earlier (stuck on nicely, whip used just once).

Jumped well, straight onto the pace under a nice hold from Spencer. Stoked up just before the 2f pole, pushed right out to win but whip wasn't pulled at any stage. Angel of the South , Mar 2, £170k yearling. Dam ran third to (Arc & King George VI winner) Danedream in Italian Oaks. Jumped OK, straight onto the rail handy to the pace. Pushed forward as they went through the crossover, and eyeballed the leader/winner at the 2f. Tried hard, whip pulled twice but unable to put nose in front. Handy run but should see more as she goes up in trip. Daddies Girl , Mar 18. £5500 yearling. Dam was terrible (peak OR of 51, nev...
