Cay Verde vying to win Norfolk Stakes
Cay Verde is vying to complete his maiden hat-trick by winning the Norfolk Stakes (Group 2) race that will be held at Ascot racecourse on Thursday, June 21. The Class 1 contest is scheduled to start at 2:30 (GMT).
On the good course of 5 furlongs, the Mick Channon-trained bay colt will compete against 11 worthy rivals such as Ahern, Annunciation, Complicator, Gale Force Ten, Ian’s Dream, Jubilee Brig, Mister Marc, Morawij, Ocean Applause, Reckless Abandon and Storm
Moon.
The winner will walk away with the cash prize worth £42,533.
Cay Verde is floating in the water of confidence and fighting spirit after bagging two back-to-back triumphs. The two-year-old novice runner started his career with 5th position on April 20, 2012. He moved on to break his maiden in the very next
race on May 12.
The brilliant son of Bahamian Bounty out of All Quiet elegantly finished first in his last start as well on May 26. These two classic conquests have spiked up the colt’s morale greatly and he is quite ready for a big show in the Norfolk Stakes.
The Qatar Racing Limited-owned sprinter will endeavour well to seal a convincing victory today; however, Gale Force Ten has the potential to impede him.
The A. P. O’Brien-trained bay colt staged a stunning debut with third position on May 18, 2012. He stepped ahead to accomplish a grand triumph in his second and last start on June 10.
Thus, the son of Oasis Dream out of Ronaldsay has proved his class well in these two starts. For the sake of the Stakes title, there is likely to be a fierce battle between Cay Verde and Gale Force Ten.
Among the other runners, Annunciation will be able to perform well today. The Richard Hannon-trained bay colt debuted on May 12, 2012 and finished as a runner-up in each of his first two starts. He proceeded to achieve his maiden conquest on May 28.
In this situation, there will be a rip-roaring and awe-inspiring clash at Ascot. Let us see who carries the day and how. Good luck to all the contestants.
