Close battle on the cards in Vinery Racing Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park
Vinery Racing Spiral Stakes is expected to produce a lot of drama at Turfway Park this weekend, March 24, 2012.
The Grade 3 event has attracted many powerful runners, who will pursue a hefty cash prize worth $500,000. The high voltage meeting will be run over 1 1/8 Miles.
Among the participants are: Russian Greek, Red Jack, Heavy Breathing, Went the Day Well, Holiday Promise, All Squared Away, Ill Conceived, Coach Royal, Tizanexpense, Mr. Prankster, Stealcase and Handsome Mike.
With such a strong line-up, it is very hard to predict anything. Let’s look at the shortlisted runners’ recent stats in order to find out one clear favourite. Bettor.com’s preview will also be helpful for the punters to stake their money meticulously.
Heavy Breathing is likely to earn decent odds. Since the three-year-old is unexposed, his rivals do not know much about his racing pattern.
Todd Pletcher’s trainee will be ridden by Javier Castellano. Nobody has any doubt over his abilities, however, it will be interesting to see how he handles pressure.
Went The Day Well is another speedy runner, who will fancy his chances. The three-year-old has taken part in two races so far, finishing runner-up on both occasions.
In his most recent outing, the LAM Partnership-owned displayed a decent performance. Yet he remained unlucky, finishing second by a neck distance.
Handsome Mike has also been consistent since his debut. The son of Scat Daddy started off his career in November last year, securing second place in the Generous Stakes at Hollywood Park.
In his most recent trip, Doug O’Neill’s trainee ended up third by three and a half lengths. The bay and brown colt has talent to do something special, but he needs an extra effort to grab the glory.
Russian Greek commenced his career with a bang. In mid January, Jerry Hollendorfer’s trainee sealed top position by one length. In his subsequent race, he failed to maintain standards, finishing fifth in the list.
There are some dashing colts in the line-up and thus, an exciting clash is on the cards. According to our prediction, it will be a three way battle between Heavy Breathing, Went the Day Well and Handsome Mike.
