At Fishers Cross set to dominate Citipost Handicap Hurdle
At Fishers Cross will the one to beat in the Citipost Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham in England on Friday, December 14, 2012. He is in very good rhythm and will definitely cause a lot of problems for his rivals in the class-2 encounter.
Although, he does not have a lot of experience, his performances in this format have been really impressive. His confidence level is very good and a victory today will help him record the first hat-trick of his career.
There are a total of 16 stallions lined up for action in the 3 mile race, scheduled to kick off at 15:05 GMT. They will have to be fit enough to complete the overall distance, which is not a short one by any means.
The one who has got a better stamina compared to his rivals, will end up winning a cash prize of £13,763 in the end.
However, things will not be easy for anyone, as the track has been affected by rain. Despite that, things are pretty much under control, as the going has become good to soft. It could have been worse than that, but the organisers have done a very good job
to entertain the spectators at Cheltenham.
According to the bookies, the competition is going to be a tough one today and no one will find it easy to dominate the proceedings completely. They have given the best odds of victory to At Fishers Cross, who can be a threat for others under such circumstances.
He is not afraid of running on a rain affected ground, which will help him get the attention of the punters in the end. It will be a clever idea to gamble more on him today, as there is a chance of winning some easy money over him.
The Rebecca Curtis’ trained gelding debuted in 2011 and was victorious in his very first outing. He has appeared in four races over hurdles since then, winning two of them whereas finished as a runner up once.
Importantly for his team, he has been displaying some great skills over the past couple of contests. Therefore, no one will really get a chance to upset him until he makes a mistake under veteran jockey, A. P. McCoy.
