Ajeeb confident to register second straight success at Wolverhampton
Some people say that Wolverhampton is a lucky venue for the David Simcock trained bay gelding, Ajeeb, as he has always done well over here. The accuracy of this claim is evident from the American horse’s career chart that shows two glaring performances related
to this track.
Thus, the hopes are high about the young runner’s success as he girds up his lines to participate in the Wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Handicap that is scheduled to be held on Monday, September 3. The four-year-old talented gelding will face 10 worthy rivals
on the standard ground of 1 mile, 1 furlong and 103 yards. If wins, he will bring home £4,205.
Ajeeb started his career in September 2010. In his very second start entitled as Bet Euro 2012 Qualifiers - Betdaq Maiden Stakes (Div I), he elegantly finished as the runner-up by beating the hot favourite candidate Jaridh. That race took place at Wolverhampton.
The son of Harlan’s Holiday out of Fair Settlement took a long break and came back in May 2011, getting another runner-up position. The maverick gelding had to wait for breaking his maiden till he ran again at Wolverhampton in October 2011. That was the
Enjoy The Party Pack Group Offer Maiden Stakes. Ajeeb convincingly won it while being the 13-8 favourite.
Thus, it is expected that the enthusiastic horse will do well in today’s marathon. The only rival who can disturb him is Star Links. The S. Donohoe trained bay gelding is too coming straight from registering an epic victory at Wolverhampton.
On August 20, the veteran horse emphatically won the Mirror Punters Club Handicap by beating the best-priced candidate Position. Prior to this, he had finished third in the Guinness Time Handicap, held at Galway.
As a whole, the son of Bernstein out of Startarette has won 6 of his total 53 starts so far. In the coming contest, Star Links will try his utmost to make up to the podium, giving tough time to Ajeeb.
Hence, we can expect a neck-to-neck competition between these two mighty geldings. Let us see who carries the day. Good luck to the both.
