Alraased – Perofrmance Review – 2012
The 2012 horseracing season has been a really good one for the spectators worldwide, as some thrilling action has been witnessed throughout the year. Moreover, some young and highly talented runners have made their mark in the sport, which is an encouraging
sign.
One of these promising stallions is Alraased, who has been doing a very good job for his team since making debut. He has the potential to compete at the highest level against the best in the business.
However, his team would not want to pressurise him at such an early stage of his career. He is learning with the passage of time and will grow in confidence by winning some small scale events.
The three-year-old colt from America started off his career in 2011 and appeared in just one race back then. He was priced 25 to 1 and was expected to struggle against some of the better runners.
There were no surprises from him, as he finished in sixth place. The result was not a bad one though, as he gave a tough time to the front runners. Things were too close in the end and he could have easily finished in the top-three, had luck favoured him.
However, the John Dunlop’s trainee did not lose hope and took a lot of positive from his debut run. He was rested for quite some time before reappearing in June 2012. His first race of the current season proved to be a very good one for him, as he managed
to secure the third spot in it.
This gave him a lot of confidence and he started making progress in future events as well. He finished as a runner up in a couple of back-to-back events, which made his team proud.
In September 2012, Exchange Rate’s son finally managed to break the shackles, winning the maiden race of his career. Just one event later, he secured the top spot once again, showing that he was capable of winning such contests with consistency.
Alraased has been ridden by several jockeys in his career, but he has enjoyed the company of veteran, Paul Hanagan, who is considered to be one of the best in the business. The pair will definitely be a force to reckon with in the future, especially if they
come together in some important events.
