Balnagon Boy seems strongest for Bank Of Ireland INH Flat Race
Taking a keen look at the race card of Bank Of Ireland INH Flat Race, it becomes quite clear that Balnagon Boy is the strongest of all the 18 runners who are going to compete for the ace title at Listowel racecourse on Monday, September 17.
This is due to the fact that the Thomas Gibney trained chestnut gelding has impressed all and proved his class well with two sterling performances. Thus, he will take it quite easy to outplay his competitors while running confidently over 2 mile with the
surface being heavy. At the end of the contest, the winner will walk away with €6,900.
In fact, Balnagon Boy has done more than the expectation of his trainer. The sport experts came to realise his class at the very day when the young horse marvellously finished first in his maiden outing entitled as Goffs 4yo Geldings Maiden (Div 1). That
race went down at Ballingarry on June 4.
That was impressive indeed. On the quite soft surface of Killarney too, the brilliant sprinter fought very well and clinched third spot in the Pat O'Sullivan Catering Equipment Flat Race.
Thus, the talented son of Hernando out of Taormina has proved that he can perform well in every sort of race conditions.
Hopefully, Balnagon Boy will repeat his traditional class in today’s contest as well. The punters are heavily relying on him. Gibney is too confident of his pupil’s skills.
Despite all these factors, the rookie runner will have to face some resistance from the Forced Kin who is desperate to break his maiden.
The R. K. Watson trained chestnut gelding started his career with a runner-up rank in February 2012. That was the Fethard 4yo INH Flat Race. After one below-par performance, the novice horse again gained second top spot in the 16-runner event of Mickybo
And Me INH Flat Race.
Thus, a ferocious battle is expected between the two mighty geldings, but success is destined to go to Balnagon Boy. Let us enjoy the charged action and see how Gibney’s pupil manages to justify his talent. Good luck to him.
