Michael & David Easterby at Doncaster — Analysis
Michael & David Easterby approach Doncaster with a pragmatic strategy, targeting races where their horses are well-handicapped or showing signs of improvement. You'll often see them bring a mix of battle-hardened handicappers and promising three-year-olds to Town Moor. They are particularly adept with horses over middle distances (1m2f to 1m4f) but also have sprinters who can hold their own. While they don't shy away from Group or Listed company – particularly if a horse warrants it, as seen with some of their better prospects – their bread and butter at Doncaster lies firmly in the competitive handicap sphere.
Pay close attention to horses dropping in class, or those returning after a short break, as the Easterbys are masters at finding their mark. They also have a good record with horses making their seasonal reappearance if they've had a strong campaign the previous year. Doncaster's fair, galloping nature suits many of their types, allowing horses to settle and finish strongly. Look out for them particularly during the spring and autumn festivals.
