Bred from the sire Minzaal and a dam by Arcano, 00erysimum has an interesting pedigree on paper. Minzaal was a rapid, sharp two-year-old himself and has shown early promise as a sire, tending to produce youngsters who hit the ground running. The Arcano influence on the dam's side adds a touch of class to the bloodline, and together they paint the picture of a horse built to be competitive from a young age.
The trainer is Robson De Aguiar, operating out of Mullingar in County Westmeath, and this is a yard that knows how to get a horse ready. Eleven winners already on the board this season tells you this is not a stable that sends horses out just to make up the numbers. When De Aguiar brings a debutant to the track, there is reasonable cause to pay attention.
Beyond that, the honest answer is that nobody truly knows what 00erysimum is capable of yet — including, in all likelihood, the team themselves. First races for two-year-olds are often as much about education as expectation. But with a sire who bred for early speed and a trainer in form, this is one debut worth watching.
