Bullock Harbour is going to add another victory to his success-studded career by finishing first in the INH Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Novice Handicap Hurdle which will take place at Fairyhouse track on Sunday, April 8.
The high-profile contest over the 3 mile distance is scheduled to start at 3:25 (GMT). For the big prize money worth €32,500. The Mrs. John Harrington-trained bay gelding will compete against 22 worthy rivals tomorrow.
Bullock Harbour possesses an excellent track record. With a dozen of races to his credit, the talented horse has accomplished a number of feats to date.
The eight-year-old veteran sprinter won three races in a row during May-August, 2011. He moved forward to attain a runner-up rank on September 14. He finished 4th in his last start on October 2.
The brilliant gelding started his career in November 2009. His maiden victory came in May 2010. Overall, he has achieved 5 triumphs to date, earning £41,559 as prize money.
As far as tomorrow’s marathon is concerned, Bullock Harbour will surely be able to make a big impact, outplaying his rivals daringly.
The hot favourite horse’s chances to finish first are as high as 90 percent provided he avoids making any mistake on the track.
Among his opponents, Tom Horn and Best Served Cold have potential to give him tough time during the race.
Tom Horn accomplished a fabulous hat-trick during May-July 2011. The Noel Meade-trained gelding went on to grab 3rd spot in his last outing on March 18, 2012. Out of his 8 starts to date, he has won 3.
On the other hand, Best Served bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs during October, 2011. After earning a runner-up rank on December 11, the trainee of Michael Hourigan finished 3rd and 4th in the two subsequent races.
Along with this duo, Cairdin is also likely to perform well tomorrow. In this situation, Bullock Harbour will have to unleash utmost firepower in order to get a breakthrough. Good luck to the favourite gelding.
