Boyfromnowhere likely to be competitive in Albert Bartlett Novices´ Hurdle Grade 2
Boyfromnowhere could be a serious threat to his opponents in the Albert Bartlett Novices´ Hurdle (Registered As The Bristol Novices´ Hurdle Race) Grade 2 at Cheltenham in England on Saturday, December 15, 2012.
Although, he does not have a lot of experience, yet he cannot be ruled out of contention today. It will not be a clever idea to underestimate him, as he has the ability to surprise one and all with his skills.
There are some very good runners lined up for action in the class-1 contest, scheduled to kick off at 13:55 GMT. They will be looking to give their best in the race, but things will not be easy for them, as the ground has been badly affected by rain.
The organisers have described the going as heavy, which will definitely change the complexion of the competition. Some of the participants will not enjoy this situation at all, and they might end up pulling out before the start of action.
Stamina will be the key in today’s event, as the overall distance to cover will be 3 miles. Everyone will have to work extremely hard, but one of them will get away with a cash prize of £14,238 in the end.
According to the bookmakers, no one has a chance to trouble Coneygree, who will be strong in these conditions at Cheltenham. Therefore, he has been given a general starting price of 11 to 10 and the punters will definitely risk a lot of bets on him.
The young gelding has appeared in just a couple of races over hurdles and was victorious in them with ease. He will now be looking to record a hat-trick in this format, but there will be immense pressure on him.
The reason for that is Boyfromnowhere’s form on a wet ground. He can end up being dangerous under such circumstances and he has proved that with his performances in the past.
His trainer, Rebecca Curtis, will be hoping that he lived up to the expectations of everyone at Cheltenham. He has never dropped out of the top-three while hurdling, which will give him immense confidence.
Moreover, he will be ridden by veteran jockey, A. P. McCoy, who is simply an artist when it comes to running in this format of racing.
