Ballesteros likely to win Novae Bloodstock Insurance Scurry Stakes
Ballesteros has a solid chance of winning the Novae Bloodstock Insurance Scurry Stakes (Listed Race) at Sandown in England on Saturday, June 16, 2012. A cash prize of £18,714 has been set for the winner of the class-1 event.
Speed will be crucial in the 5 furlong 6 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 15:25 GMT. A total of eight quality runners have been attracted towards the event and their names are as follows: Ballesteros, Bayleyf, Chunky Diamond, Free Zone, Pearl Secret,
Rex Imperator, Ultrasonic and Vocational.
Although some participants in this race have got a phenomenal record in the sport, the best chances of victory are with Ballesteros, as the conditions will suit him more than anyone else. His performances in recent times have also been good, which will encourage
the punters to place a lot of bets on him.
The three-year-old gelding has participated in 13 races until now, winning five of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he has also secured the third place on three occasions, which means that he only dropped out of the top three in four
events.
The Brian Meehan’s trainee is carrying a terrific momentum right now, as he has been victorious twice out of his previous three races. However, he finished third in his most recent one, which would have disappointed his supporters in the end. He was rated
as favourite to win back then, but tings did not work out well for him.
Ballesteros will be partnered by seasoned jockey, Eddie Ahern, who has won quite a few races at this level, but has got a poor strike rate. He is not a consistent performer, which is not a good sign. However, he will be eying to make an improvement in his
performances from today onwards.
The bookies have shown more confidence in the abilities of Pearl Secret, who has got a terrific record at this level. He has participated in three races so far, winning all of them. His 100 percent winning record will definitely help him attract a lot of
bets from the punters.
Despite that, Ballesteros might manage to beat Pearl Secret, who will not like the track conditions at Sandown.
