Aiken tipped for success in Gain Horse Feeds Irish St. Leger (Group 1)
Aiken has got a great opportunity of shining in the all important Gain Horse Feeds Irish St. Leger (Group 1) at Curragh in Ireland on Saturday, September 15, 2012. He has got a fantastic record and does not settle for second best. Despite that, he will have
to battle his way to the top, as the level of competition is quite high.
Not even a single runner can be taken lightly in the race, which is scheduled to kick off at 18:05 GMT. All of them have been trained really well by their respective trainers and they will be eying the cash prize of €116,000 in the end.
Luckily, the weather has remained good at Curragh over the past couple of days, thus the going has remained yielding. Even if the conditions change before the start of action, that will not bother most of the contestants, as they have got the skills to cope
up with different situations.
There are quite a few talented runners participating in the 1 mile 6 furlong race, but none has got more victories than Fame And Glory. This is why he has been rated as the favourite to succeed.
However, the six-year-old stallion was unable to make a solid impression in his most recent race, which will discourage the punters from risking bets on him. He has the ability to bounce back strongly, thus it will not be a clever ideal to rule him out completely.
The A. P. O'Brien’s trainee has represented his team in 23 races, winning 14 of them. His strike rate is extremely good and it will not be an easy task to beat him today.
On the other hand, Aiken may not be as experienced like the favourite horse, but he has the ability to be dominant in the race. He is a confident runner and the bookies rate him quite highly.
Due to this, the four-year-old colt will definitely get the attention of the bettors. He has participated in eight events, winning six of them, which clearly shows what he is capable of achieving.
However, the John Gosden’s trainee finished fourth in his previous race, which will put him under some pressure. He has the ability to finish on the top and his partner, Jimmy Fortune, will be helping him in that matter.
