Kingston
Hill 4 y gr c
Mastercraftsman – Audacieuse ( Neil, Tony)
High class colt who has won 4 of his
8 starts, but will need a wet summer if we are to see much of him this season. He
won his first 3 starts as a two year old, a 7f maiden at Newbury in September
2013, beating Exchequer 1 ½ l, followed up at Newmarket in October in a 1m
group 3, beating Oklahoma City 2l, and then 2 weeks later won the v1m Group 1
Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster, beating Johann Strauss 4 ½ l. The ground tellingly was soft on 2 occassions
and good to soft the other. Last season he reappeared at Newmarket in May in
the 2000 guineas, beaten 5l in 8th behind Night of Thunder, then ran
very well to be 1 ¼ l 2nd to Australia in the Derby at Epsom, then
found the firm ground against him at Sandown in the Eclipse stakes when only 4th,
4l behind Mukhadram.
Class and the longer trip saw him
land the Group 1 St Leger at Doncaster by 1 ¼ l from Romsdal, and finished with
a creditable 4th at Longchamp in the Arc, 4l behind Treve. He will
be aimed at the top middle distance races, and Roger Varian has already stated
his campaign is dependant on the weather.
