The breeding offers a few clues, as it always does with a first-time runner. The sire is Rajasinghe, a fast, precocious horse in his own racing days who has shown an ability to pass on sharp early speed to his offspring. The dam comes from the Fountain Of Youth line, which suggests a horse built for speed over shorter distances rather than a horse that will need time and distance to find its best. In short, the pedigree paints a picture of something that might be ready to run well young, rather than a horse that needs a year to figure things out.
None of that guarantees anything, of course. First-time runners are always a leap of faith — even the best-bred horses can find the racecourse a completely different experience from anything they have encountered at home. But with a trainer operating at the top of his game this season and a pedigree that points towards early ability, 00intoxicated is exactly the kind of debut runner that rewards a second look.
