Another smart Cat

14th May 2008

Trainer Simon Callaghan celebrated his first juvenile success and freshman sire One Cool Cat had his eighth individual winner at Yarmouth on Tuesday when Cool Art (2c One Cool Cat-Fee Faw Fum, by Great Commotion) stylishly took the six-furlong maiden.

A 100,000 guineas yearling bred by Az Agr Robiati Angelo, Matthew Green’s Cool Art had made a promising debut at Newmarket earlier in the month.

"He did it in the style of a very nice horse and Jamie (Spencer) was very positive about him," said Callaghan. "He is the sort of horse who will be progressive and get seven furlongs in the end. He is not just an early-season two-year-old and has lots of scope."

The Racing Post’s Analysis noted: "According to the market this was all about the odds-on COOL ART, who had made his debut at Newmarket on 1,000 Guineas day and shown promise before just flattening out. No doubt, the experience did him good as connections decided to bowl along from the gate and he was never in trouble in landing the odds. He used his lovely, long stride to good effect and saw out every yard of the 6f without a problem. Trainer Simon Callaghan wasn't about to commit him to any fancy targets but indicated Cool Art is an above-average type who should go on and make his presence felt in tougher engagements."
