Beautiful Sound an outright favourite for the Irish National - Horse Racing
It was reported today that two champion racehorses, Beautiful Sound and Prince Erik, are dominating the odds at the Irish National as they are the hot favourite competitors with Ladbrokes. The National event has been scheduled to take place on Thursday next
week.
Beautiful Sound trains under the care of the famed trainer Gordon Elliott. There is still a chance that the champion racehorse might have to miss the National meeting because the race will stage a field of 25 runners. There were 51 acceptors on Wednesday
and Beautiful Sound was the 32nd of these. His odds have been shortened to 6-1 from 7-1 with Ladbrokes.
On the other hand, the participation of Prince Erik is confirmed in the Irish National meeting as he is the 13th contender on the list. Meanwhile his odds were also reduced from 10-1 to 8-1 with William Hill and Stan James.
Other contenders in the race include the racehorse Quantitativeeasing. According to reports, his odds were also cut with the sponsor William Hill as he was reduced from 14-1 to 12-1. Meanwhile, his chief rival in the race, Some Target, received better odds
from Stan James and William Hill. He formerly reported to be a 16-1 favourite and now he is at 14-1.
One of the most celebrated and famed trainers on the circuit, Willie Mullins, has entered five of his trainees for the big race in Ireland. Three of these five racehorses have already been confirmed for the meeting. His trainee, Red Vinto, is on the 49th
spot of the list and there are high chances that he will get a cut in the race. Pomme Tiepy, also a trainee of Willie Mullins is one place behind Beautiful Sound in the list of entries.
Another prominent trainer in the big race is Henry de Bromhead. Talking about his racehorse Loose My Load, he was reported as saying, “He loves fast ground and I would hate to wait for Punchestown and have the ground go. It could happen and it seems silly
to miss an opportunity to go for a Grade 1 on good ground.”
The Irish National will prove to be an exciting race with a field of strong competitors scheduled to participate. Come next week, the best horses should come out on top.
