Books Review in for the career debut win in the Exeter Races Now Available On Racing UK Intermediate Hunters’ Chase (Series Final)
Exeter will host the Class 5 Exeter Races Now Available On Racing UK Intermediate Hunters’ Chase (Series Final) over three miles on Tuesday, 8th May. The race has the purse of £1,872 and has assembled the line-up of seven runners.
None of the entries on the line-up has raced at Exeter before and three among them are racing their career debut today.
The only credible entry among the contestants is Books Review, Karinga Bay’s eight-year-old bay gelding out of mare, In A Whirl. His chances for bagging the race today are based on his second score in the seasonal debut and that he has surfaced after resting since a quite a while.
On 2nd May, he scored second in the Connolly’s Red Mills Intermediate Point-To-Point Championship Final Hunters’ Chase at Cheltenham over three miles and one and a half furlong.
The race was won by the 4/1 favourite, Doctor Kingsley, who was paired up with Mr. P. Mann and the two led Books Review by one and a half length.
Books Review was riding with Mr. B. Gibbs. Joining the winner and the runner up beyond the finishing line was My Lil Ledge.
This was a second time through his career that he scored a second otherwise the eight-year-old has not won a single race ever.
Before the seasonal debut, Books Review had raced in the Bet Totepool To Support Your Sport Novices’ Handicap Hurdle over two miles and six and a half furlong on 1st May, 2010.
The race was won by the 5/2 joint favourite, Liz’s Dream who made it beyond the wire by a mere neck’s margin. Finishing the closest to the winner was Entertain Me.
The other joint favourite of the race, Cockney Prince, ended fourth on the line-up of ten while Books Review ended fifth.
Books Review’s first ever second score of the career was in the Venue For Conferences & Meetings Standard National Hunt Flat Race (Conditionals/Amateur Riders) on 22nd October at Southwell over two miles.
The Panama Kid, the 3/1 joint favourite of the race, won it and led the runner up by 1 ¼ lengths. The other joint favourite was the last entry to finish the race.
It is high time that Books Review make the most out of the chance that has come his way.
