Cracksman

Probably will be waiting for his 3yo's before we can really assess him.

In the racing post bloodstock daily letter, they said that cracksman is a C:C. He has two copys of the speed gene, meaning he is more suited to distances of 5 furlongs to a mile. This must have an impact on his progeny. It therefore means he can only pass on the C gene. Surely his stock should be better suited to shorter distances ( depending on the mare obviously). He cant produce a T:T horse, this will make interesting viewing during the season. Just as a reference Galileo was T:T.

Not sure if he will get many sprinting fillies and how being a CC will effect progeny from non CC mares. As you say, it will be interesting viewing.

Cracksman sired his first winner yesterday in Aloa winning in Milan over 7 fur.

He happened to be first born

Cracksman has had 3 runners so far a winner a 2nd in Madrid and Lahina Bay trained by John Bridger whos had 3 runs over 5 fur

The most expensive 2 are Forever Rose  who cost 420 000 gns purchased at the Arquana Breeze up sale recently.

The Cracksman======Coolmix   cost 410 000 gns at Tatts Oct Sales

Cracksman had his 2nd winner on Tuesday.

Diamond Angel winning at Capannelle ( Italy ) scoring by 1 and a half lengths over 7 fur.

Trained by A Botti

3 winners for Cracksman.So sorry

Petra won on Sunday as well.

Cracksman filly Rich makes her debut today at Newbury in the fillies maiden.she cost 28,000 gns as a yearling

Hoping for a good run

She is with Richard Hannon.

Cracksman sires' his first winner in the U K in Rich.

Was well supported in the market backed from 8/1 into 7/2

It will be fascinating to see Cracksman's trajectory following the C:C enlightenment, and whether this belatedly entices commercial breeders.

Any fast start with 2yo's might be from his potential precocity and the class of his mares rather than the mares own precocity, so could he become the best of both breeding spheres?

Cracksman Filly Madly Truely makes her debut tonight at Leopardstown over 7 furlongs.

Trained by Joseph O'Brien out of a dam who was best over 6 furlongs, be intresting.

Madly Truely made an encouraging debut to finish a staying on 2nd .
She was a bit tight for room at the furlong marker and had to be switched to the outside and was doing her best work at the end.

Lahina Bay ran a lot better tonight she showed a lot of speed for 4 furlongs and just started to weaken at the furlong pole

She will now get a mark.hopefully not to high lol

Cracksman filly Crackovia by Cracksman -Olivia french bred mare who only raced 4 times winning twice runs in the 5.00 Chelmsford over 7 furlongs

30,000 euro purchase and making her debut for Mark and Charlie Johnston.

Crackovia ran a really nice race at Chelmsford last night.

She was staying on strongly to finish 3rd  and was only beaten a head and a sht head.

Nice run will improve.

Dickieburd was a bit disapointing today at Haydock, dropped away very tamely and finished last

Hope to see someimprovement next time

Dance In The Grass scores for Cracksman at 20/1

Crackovia made all the running  to win over 7 fur at Beverley yesterday

I think she will be even better with cut in the ground .

Cracksman had 2 runners in Milan yesterday

Diamond Angel came 8th of 8th and Aloa came 2nd of 8

Lahina Bay ran an o k race last night at Windsor finishing 4th after hanging left fro the first couple of furlongs.

Nurseries beckons.

Dickieburd showed improved form to win at odds of 40/1 for Craig Lister,made all the running trainer reported the drop back to 5 fur suited him better.

Stewards did take note

Stand Strong ran a lovely eye catching race on debut at Salisbury to finish 4th, always prominent against the rail and not given a hard time will improve a lot for this run

Dance In The Grass a listed winner at Sandown yesterday- 25-1 for the 1000 Guineas

Emily Bell ran an ok race in the maiden at Newmarket yesterday always racing in mid division she weakened at the furlong marker and finished midfield.

Should improve on that

Crackovia made all to win at Kempton this afternoon returned a lovely 9/2

Miss Dynamic improved for her debut run at Goodwood when making all to win at Doncaster yesterday.

Cracksman got his first winner in Ireland at the weekend thanks too Madly Truly

Stand Strong ran an ok race after a 76 day break to finsh 3rd yesterday weakening close home beaten just over 2 lengths

Lieber Power won well enough at Kempton. He looked a bit lazy and backward to half way but went past the second under a good ride from Probert.

Prix du Jockey Club winner

Is Frankel already becoming a sire of sires. How often does the best horse become the best stallion, it really is fairy tale stuff.

Ace Impact looks pretty good. If he wins the Arc with a 3yo from his first crop that will be very impresive.

job done - a truly top class colt. cracksman even got a brief mention on ITV when they weren't talking about justify. frankel sired the placed horses

Yes it was good. Maybe he will get Cracksman going again.
