The post for this year was added to the 2013 thread, so if you want to see more details about the eyecatchers so far then please click onto the last post of the 2013 thread, however all future posts will be on this 2014 thread.
Below i list all of the EYECATCHERS to follow so far this season:
QUEENS PARK – big strong filly trained by John Davies, finished 5th in heavy going, looks like she could be winning races this year.
DRAGLINE – trained by Tim Easterby, dwelt at the start first time out, then had a disadvantaged draw, i like him physically and one to consider with more favourable conditions or in his nursery.
MIDTERM BREAK trained by D. Barron i liked this horse physically and he has gone on to win 2 races since i first flagged him up.
COLLOSIUM trained by M. Dodd a big strong sprnter type had disadvantaged draw so one to consider with more favourable conditions
FIRGROVE BRIDGE – trained by K. Ryan, a big strong sprinter type i really liked physically at Pontefract first time out, but was concerned about his mental immaturity in the parade ring and almost boiled over, however did win that day, but with a horse like this he phyically looks the type that can win races, but it all depends how he copes mentally on the day.
ZEELA trained by T. Easterby, loved this horse physically, he finished 2nd to FIRGROVE BRIDGE i think this horse has the scope to definitely win races
HOT STREAK trained by K. Ryan a horse i loved last year as a 2 year old, one of my favourites physically – is proving a great sprinter this season and one to definitely follow
THE GREY GATSBY trained by K. Ryan -another one off my 2 year old list of last year, a big strong grey colt, who has won the Dante this month, so another to follow this year as a 3 year old.
THE HOODED CLAW trained by T. Easterby another one off my 2 year old last year, has strengthened up even more this year and won at Chester this month, and is one to follow as a 3 year old.
CAPTAIN COLBY trained by K. Ryan a strong colt who caught my eye at Thirsk, he won that day then ran disappointing at York, in very soft ground, his breeding suggests he will be best on good or firmer ground, so one definitely to consider with more favourable conditions.
Yesterday one of the 3 year olds on my list which i updated last week THE GREY GATSBY WON the French Derby at 12-1!
Listed below are the horses that have caught my eye in the last two weeks – TO ENSURE YOU DONT MISS ANY WHEN THEY RUN, IF YOU SET UP RACEHORSE TRACKER ON ATTHERACES SITE, THIS SENDS YOU EMAIL REMINDERS THE DAY BEFORE THE HORSES ARE DUE TO RUN TOGETHER WITH A TIMEFORM COMMENT.
MIGNOLINO a 2 year old trainer by D. Barron ridden by G. Gibbons looked the part in the parade ring and went on to win well at York in soft ground, looks like he will be winning again
MYSTIC AND ARTIST trained by K Burke ridden by D. Tudhope was an eyecatcher in the parade ring, ran green was slowly away and soon outpaced but when he got the hang of it picked up well and kept on in the final furlong one to consider. Ran at Thirsk 5f good (g/s in places)
BACALL a filly trained by Kevin Ryan ridden by T. Eaves, nice type physically ran green pulled hard, could do well if matures and learns to settle. Thirsk 5f good (g/s in places)
VIA VIA trained by Clive Brittain ridden by K. Fallon looked nice type physically pushed along midfield eased won easily one to follow. Ripon 6f good.
PROPHESIZE nice type trained by N. Quinlan ridden by P Cosgrove tracked leaders stayed on strongly to win well, one to look out for. Redcar 6f good to firm (good in places)
SOUL BROTHER nice type trained by Tim Easterby ridden by David Allan made all and quickened pulling clear looks the type that will be winning again. Newcastle 5f going good.
QUEENS PARK WON TODAY AT 7-1 at Carlisle the better ground obviously suited, a big strong filly looks the type able to win more races, it all depends next time on how the handicapper treats her after an easy win today.
An EYECATCHER i saw at Catterick – going soft – 6th June was FULLON CLARETS trained by R. Fahay ridden by T. Hamilton, this 2 year old colt is a nice strong looking type, who ran well on his debut to finish a close second, and one who should be winning races this year.
One of the best looking 2 year olds ive seen in the north so far this season physically is the Tim Easterby trained SAKHEES RETURN ridden by Duran Fentiman at Carlisle today going good to firm, he stayed on strongly to win by 2 lengths, this colt should be winning more races this year.
Of the 57 maidens on my list last year the results for them this year mainly as 3 year olds are as follows:
39 have run so far
22 WINNERS (including a 50-1 winner and a 20-1 winner)- 5 SECONDS – 12 LOST – 19 YET TO RUNSo its worth following the 2 year old maidens of last year as 3 year olds this season.
Over the next couple of days i will posting an updated list of all the horses from last year.
4 EYECATCHERS run today:
FIRGROVE BRIDGE 2.20 Thirsk
MIDTERM BREAK 5.35 Ascot
PROPHESIZE 3.05 Ascot
HOT STREAK – KINGS STAND ASCOT
HERE IS MY LIST OF MAIDENS FROM LAST YEAR MOST OF THEM NOW 3 YEAR OLDS, A COUPLE ARE 4 YEARS OLD, BECAUSE THEY DIDNT APPEAR ON THE RACECOURSE UNTIL THEY WERE 3. THEY ARE PROVING VERY PROFITABLE TO FOLLOW 22 WINS SO FAR INCLUDING 50-1 and 20-1.

2 WINNERS off last years maiden list as 3 year olds:
FOXY CLARETS 11/4 Pontefract 22nd June
LEXINGTON ROSE 10-1 Carlisle 26th June.2 year old EYECATCHERS to add to the list:
HOME CUMMINS trained by R. Fahey ridden by Tony Hamilton won well at Redcar 21st June 7f going g/f – nice type, but green and immature a filly to follow.
ARTREUS – trained by M. Easterby ridden by Danielle Moony, did well to finish 3rd from the worse draw at Thirsk 23rd June 6f going g/f
A big strong colt who looked like he would need the race, one who could be winning races soon, or one to consider in his nursery.UPWARD TREND – trained by T. Easterby ridden by David Allen finished mid field but was running on at Thirsk 23rd June 6f going g/f, Tim Easterby’s 2 year old often come on well for their first run, a nice type in the paddock may be one to consider next time out or in its nursery.
GEORGE BOWEN – trained by R. Fahey ridden by Tony Hamilton won well at Carlisle 6f going g/f on 25th June, nice strong colt edgy in the paddock but should go on win more races especially if settles more in the preliminaries.
FAST ACT – trained by Kevin Ryan ridden by Jamie Spencer won well at Carlisle 5f going g/f a nice big strong colt who obviously improved for faster going.
GEORDIE GEORGE trained by J. Quinn ridden by Philip Makin, finished second to a newmarket horse at Newcastle g/f 6f, he had previously won well in heavy going so this was a good performance, a nice looking colt who looks like he could win over 6 or 7 furlongs.
SUREWECAN trained by M. Johnson won well at Hamilton July 1st 6f – a lovely looking colt looks the type who will be winning again especially over 7f.
CRYSTAL WISH trained by Kevin Ryan ridden by K. Stott finished 3rd to a William Haggas horse at Catterick July 2nd going g/f it appeared that the better ground brought about improvement, a nice big strong type who could go on to win
2 of this year’s maidens ran yesterday in their handicaps and both finished 2nd.
DRAGLINE at 20-1 ran in his first nursery at Haydock and was beaten just a neck by the Richard Hannon horse.
QUEENS PARK at 5-1 ran in her first handicap at Beverley and was beaten 1/2 length by the Richard Fahey trained favourite.
The best looking 2 year old ive seen so far this season is FLAMING SPEAR*** trained by Kevin Ryan ridden by Ryan Moore, this awesome looking horse looked like a three year old physically in a 2 year old race at York on July 12th he won well and i think he will go on to better things.
