2014 Flat Profile - Lucky Kristale


Lucky Kristale 3 y bf Lucky Story – Pickaboo    (Peej)
Top class filly who won 4 of her 5 starts last season, she made a winning debut at Newmarket in May, winning a 6f maiden by a short head from Our Queenie, then followed up at Yarmouth in a 6f novice stakes beating Our Vigor 4l. Stepped up in class at Royal Ascot she could finish only 6th in the 6f group 3, beaten 6l behind Kiyoshi, but returned to winning form at Newmarket in July taking a 6f group 2 by 2 ¼ l from Rizzeena, and finished with victory in August at York, taking a group 2 from Queen Catrine by 1 ½ l. In such an open year she is as good as any of the fillies over a mile.

Smart filly who has won 2 of her 5 starts, she made her debut in April at Newmarket in a 5f maiden , finishing 4th, beaten 1/34 l behind Fire Blaze, then won a 6f maiden at Goodwood, beating Ihtimal 1 ½ l.

2014 Flat Profile - Kingman


Kingman 3 y b c Invincible Spirit – Zenda  (All)
Top class unbeaten colt who made his debut at Newmarket in July in a 7f maiden, beating Adhwaa 6l, and followed up with a comfortable 4l victory at Sandown in August in the 7f Group 3 Solario stakes beating Emirates Flyer. Not seen after, having had surgery to remove a small bone chip removed from a joint, he reappeared at Newbury this April in the 7f group 3 Greenham stakes, where he destroyed a strong field by 4 ½ l. He looks a worthy Guineas favourite and looks a top class miler in the making.

Smart filly who has won 3 of her 4 starts, she made a winning debut at Newbury last June, taking a 6f maiden fillies stakes by ¾ l from Autumn Sunrise, and followed up at Newmarket in a 6f nursery hamdicap, beating Midnite Angel ¾ l. She then met her only defeat when a disappointing 7th in a 6f group 2 at York and was put away for the season. She reappeared at Newbury in April in a 7f group 3 beating Al Thakhira a neck, and holds a 1000 guineas entry and further group 1 entries later on ,so is obviously held in high regard.
