He lost the victory by 1 length to Featherintheattic in the £32 Free At 32RED.com Maiden Hurdle at Huntingdon, on 14th March, 2012, ridden by William Twiston-Davies.
Daymar Bay, son of Oscar, out of Sunset View, started his racing career on 9th November and downed an impressive victory. He raced with odds of 5 to 1 and defeated Management by an immense margin of 7 lengths in the Burstow Intermediate Open National
Hunt Flat Race at Lingfield.
This victory gave the six-year-old gelding a good career start and his trainer, Emma Lavelle and owner, The Second Fox Inn Syndicate’s confidence increased in him.
Mounted by jockey, Stephen O’Donovan, he finished as a runner-up in the Setsquare Recruitment Novices’ Hurdle at Taunton, on 10th November, 2011.

He stood third in the Reclaims UK Helping Soldiers Novices’ Hurdle at Sandown on 17th February, 2012.
He missed the finish as a runner-up by a tremendous margin of 9 lengths to Persian Snow.
Kruzhlinin is likely to emerge victorious from this race. This speculation is based on his previous performances and his popularity in the market.
He looks in good enough form to claim the victory, while Daymar Bay may pose a challenge, most likely, finish closely behind him as a runner-up.
