Balmont Mast intimidating in the Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Race
Even with fourteen three-year-old and above runners for the Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Race, only two get to grab attention of the crowds. There is a flooding of entries who have failed to exploit the chances and transform them into successes. The six furlong
race at Dundalk race course on Friday, 5th October has promised the winner the prize money of €10,350.
The 7 to 2 shot for the event today, Balmont Mast, and Pencil Hill trained by, Tracey Collins, catch the eye.
The most preferred has raced six times ever since the dawn of the new season, and has strived for maintaining some level of consistency through the last two outings. Both the starts were at two different racing tracks, and at both the instances the four-year-old
bay gelding stationed second.
Posting the debut success has not been possible until yet, and just another chance might be what he was looking out for.
The Edward Lynam trained has raced at Dundalk twice after the calendar shifted to 2012.
His seasonal debut was in the Irish News Red Hand Top Tips Race on 23rd March, 2012 at Dundalk over five furlongs. He did not turn out to be a bitter disappointment in the field of five.
He ended third after the winner, Timeless Call, and the runner-up, Katla.
Three missed chances down the line got him scoring second back-to-back.
He missed the Dan Dooley Ford Centre Handicap by 1 ¼ lengths on 10th August, 2012 at Tipperary race course over five furlongs.
He was under the guidance of jockey, Johnny Murtagh, while the race was won by, An Saighdiur.
Filling in the third position behind the winner was the favourite entry, Oor Jock.
Sustaining the composure, Balmont’s bay gelding qualified as the runner-up in the Bar One Racing Mourne Handicap on 19th August, 2012 at Dundalk race course over six furlongs.
The collective favourite was paired up with jockey, Pat Smullen, for the race, and was kept adrift by just half-length by the winner, The Reaper.
Today Johnny Murtagh will race him from the first gate, and will need to keep a check on the level of competition.
