Saturday's 2YO Update (13th October)

A tiring week. Need a rest. But let's see what we have going for Saturday. 

More top-class racing:

1:50 Newmarket (L)
2:25 Newmarket (G)
2:40 York (L)
3:00 Newmarket (G)
3:50 York (N) 
4:15 Newmarket (N) 
4:25 York 
5:45 Chelmsford 
6:15 Chelmsford   

4:25 York - 

A few entered juveniles going here. Tom Dascombe has Jonah Jones, who is definitely one of the better two-year-olds in the stable. Wasn't disgraced at Listed class last time when fourth. Dropping back in trip. Needs to defy the win penalty. 

Charlie Hills has one of his big guns running in the shape of Qutob. A very well entered horse who has gone close when runner-up on two starts. A talented son of Acclamation who deserves respect. No shame in being second best to Converter last time out. 

Marco Botti hasn't had much to crow about with his two-year-olds this season. This is detailed by the fact he has just two entrants. *Fares Kodiac won by a nose on debut at 16/1. Far from disgraced when unplaced at Class 2. Another horse who needs to defy a win penalty. 

*NR

Jonah Jones 6/5f 1st 
Qutob 3/1 3rd

Note: Jonah Jone wins defying a penalty. Qutob ran ok in third. 

5:45 Chelmsford -

Simon Crisford fields the twice-raced El Gumryah who will start favourite. 

El Gumryah 4/5f 2nd 

Note: Struggled for pace and ran on after it was all over. 

6:15 Chelmsford - 

Interesting to see one of David Simcock's better juveniles racing here. He has only entered six two-year-olds this season so Furious is worthy of respect. This bay daughter of Oasis Dream was relatively fancied on debut and not beaten too far into fifth. Dropping in back to 6f. Very good claims. 

Furious 8/13f 1st 

Note: Impressive victory from Furious. 

Group Horse: From 2yo to Kentucky Derby Winner 2018

Why is Group Horse so powerful? 

Basically, it details the best two-year-old horses in training. Whether unraced, lightly raced or even if we are looking into the future, perhaps a horse running for the first time at three. That is the strength of this remarkable information. 

Do you want to know the best horses before they are known to the racing public?

With a mailing list of over 1,000 subscribers they are in agreement. 

For example, let's take the 7:30 Kempton - ''Road To The Kentucky Derby '' Conditions Stakes (Plus 10) (1st March) over 1 mile on standard to slow going. 

This race is worth £43,575.00 to the winner and stepping stone to the Kentucky Derby. Here is a link to the race if you want to see the horses, trainers, betting odds. I know what you are saying 'Well, we can all see it is a good race with talented horses''. 

Correct.

The example is about looking back to see which horses Group Horse identified from this race at two-year-olds. 

From the eight three-year-olds how many did we identify at two? Those unraced or lightly raced. Remember 80% of horses don't win a race and most of them are no great shakes. 

So identifying horses to achieve this level is exceptional. 

So which of the horse did we identify?

Fortune's Pearl (Andrew Balding) - 2 wins, raced at Group class and has an official rating of 100. 

Gronkowski (Jeremy Noseda) -  Raced 4 times achieving 2 wins and on official rating of 95. 

Jellmood (Marco Botti) - A very consistent horse with one win from seven start but placed on five other occasions. An official rating of 95.

Ventura Knight - A progressive, durable horse who has won four races from eleven starts. An official rating of 95. 

Gronkowski is tissue priced at 13/8f. 

All four horses are talents. Each of these horses was identified by Group Horse at two. 

Look where they are at three. 

Who knows where they will be at the end of the year? 

Perhaps a Kentucky Derby winner!
