2021 Flat profiles - Two that didn't make it

Sacred  3 y bf Exceed and Excel – Sacre Caroline

Filly who had an ok 2 year old season, but impressed on recent reappearance at Newmarket, that moved her in  to 3 y bc Sea The Moon - the 1000 guineas reckoning. She started at Newmarket last June winning a 5f maiden by 1 ¾ l from Sardinia Sunset, then was 2nd at Ascot in a 5f group 2, beaten ¾ l by Campanelle, then was 2nd again at York in August in a 6f group 2, beaten 1l by Miss Amulet. She was 2nd again next time at Doncaster in September in another 5f group2, finishing a short head behind Ubetteabelive it, then disappointed at Newmarket in September, finishing 8th in the Group 1 Cheveley Park stakes, beaten 12 ½ l behind Alcohol Free. On breeding a 7f/ 1m are her optimum trip and she impressed at Newmarket recently, winning a 7f group 3 by ¾ l from Saffron Beach and is now a 10/1 shot for the 1000 guineas, which is not a bad e/w shout. Willie Haggas told the Punter, "Her work has been good this spring and she's gone clear of anything she's worked with. It's a great start to the season as she's finally won a Group race and now we'll try to get a bigger one

Shale 3y b f Galileo – Homecoming Queen 

Very decent 2 year old who made her debut at Leopardstown in June, in a 7f fillies maiden, finishing 6th beaten 4 ¼ l behind Oodnadatta, then in July won a 1m fillies maiden at Gowran Park by 3 ¼ l from High Heels. She followed up in August at Leopardstown, taking a 7f group 3 by 1 ½ l from Pretty Gorgeous, then 3 weeks later at the Curragh, was beaten 2 ½ l by Pretty Gorgeous in a 7f Group 2. In September in the7f group 1 Moyglare stud stakes, she reversed form again with Pretty Gorgeous, beating her ¾ l , then finished the season with a disappointing 6th at Newmarket in the 1m group 1` Fillies Mile, beaten 7 ¾ l behind Pretty Gorgeous. She reappeared at Leopardstown on 11 April and finished 5th in a 7f group 3 beaten 2 ¾ l by Keeper of Time (received 3lb), and should win some decent races this season
