Camden favourite for Betfair Commits £40 Million To British Racing Handicap Chase
A total of five contestants will be competing over 2 miles, 5 furlongs and 110 yards in order to claim the Betfair Commits £40 Million To British Racing Handicap Chase at Fakenham in England on Monday, December 10, 2012.
They will definitely spice up the competition in the class-3 encounter, which is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 GMT.
All of them have been trained really well and know how to deliver strong results at this level. They will have to deal with difficult track conditions though, which will make things interesting.
There has been a lot of rain at Fakenham, which has left the ground soft. The organisers have been trying extremely hard to keep things under control, but they cannot control the weather.
However, everyone will be hoping that the conditions improve before the start of action, so that a clean race can be witnessed. A cash prize of £7,798 has been set for the winner, so everyone will be giving their best shot in the end.
Camden seems to be the obvious choice for the bookmakers, as he has been given the highest odds for victory. He has done a pretty decent job for his team in this format, which will help him get the attention of the punters.
Despite that, it will not be easy for the talented runner to dominate the proceedings completely. He has been priced 15 to 8, which clearly shows that he is expected to walk away with an easy victory.
The Oliver Sherwood’s trained gelding has participated in just a couple of chase events, winning one of them. He did not enjoy a very good time in the other one, but will be looking to forget that today. He was victorious in his most recent race, so the
momentum is definitely with him at the moment.
On the other hand, Cross Of Honour has never succeeded in a chase event before, but his performances have not been bad in this format. Therefore, his confidence level will be good and he will definitely get the attention of the bettors.
The Charlie Longsdon’s trainee is not overly dependent on the ground conditions, which is a very good sign for any stallion. Therefore, he will be looking to steal the show under veteran jockey, Richard Johnson.
