The four-year-old Kodiac filly Kinetic, trained in Newmarket by James Owen, has demonstrated dramatic improvement since joining the Deva Racing team, winning multiple times so far and progressing from a mark in the 50s to competing at stakes level.
She is out of the four-time 1m4f winner and Listed-placed Motivator mare Soul Searcher, who is in turn a half-sister to the Gr.2-placed Rutland Boy and the Gr.3-placed Harvestfortheworld, the latter of whom has gone on to produce the Gr.3 Blue Wind Stakes winner Caroline Street.
Sourced at Goffs in July 2024 by bloodstock agent J D Moore, Kinetic was a 10-race maiden when joining the James Owen team. She went on to score by seven and a half lengths at Windsor on her second start for the stable and has worn the Deva Racing silks ever since.
She won a 1m4f Wolverhampton handicap on her first start in Deva ownership on the 20th of August and demonstrated all of her guts to come out on top of a photo-finish at Musselburgh just a week later. Although foiled on her next start at Chelmsford, another easy victory followed at Southwell towards the end of September to improve Kinetic’s recent form figures to 211141.
By now rated around two stone higher than when she joined the Owen yard, this rapid improvement opened the door to looking for some black type. Kinetic contested the Listed River Eden Stakes at Lingfield in November and then ran a super race when sixth in a 1m2f class 2 handicap at the same track the following month. Her improvement clearly hasn’t stopped yet.
The handicapper has now dropped Kinetic back to a flat rating of 69 for the new year, which is only 1lb above her last winning mark at Southwell. She has also had two spins over hurdles recently, running a terrific race to be fourth at Newbury on the first occasion. Her damsire, Motivator, is a decent source of NH broodmares, with his daughters responsible for the likes of dual Listed-winning hurdler Liari, and Kinetic can thrive if continuing on the jumping path.
A smashing dual-purpose filly with the potential to improve further, Kinetic has been a fabulous advertisement for Deva Racing in recent months and we look forward to seeing what she can achieve in 2025.
