Der Spieler gets the best odds for Templemore Beginners Chase
Der Spieler has won the best odds for Templemore Beginners Chase at Thurles in Ireland on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. The triumphant horse will walk away with a cash prize of €5,520 in the end.
Going will be good in the 2 mile 2 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 4:15 GMT, and a total of seven runners will be seen in action. Their names are as follows: Der Spieler, Ainm Spartacus, Galloping Gander, Tailors Hill, An Drummer Liath, Where´d Ya Hide It and Mojoes Palm.
Although it was quite hard to predict today’s favourite, the bookies have given the best odds to Der Spieler, who has got plenty of experience in chase racing. He has taken part in seven of such event, winning none until now. However, he did manage to finish runner up once, which was his best result.
J. G. Coogan’s trainee has been in good form recently, thus the punters will be risking some money on him.
The seven-year-old gelding will be partnered by D. N. Russell, who has managed to win just six races while chasing. He does not have a good strike rate and will need to improve a lot in order to impress more bets in his favour.
The bookies have also given pretty decent odds to Galloping Gander, who has shown decent form in recent times. He finished runner up in his previous outing, which shows that he is in good rhythm right now.
The six-year-old gelding was the least favourite to win that event, but he took everyone by surprise in the end. He failed to get off to a good start, but managed to bounce back strongly.
J. F. O'Shea’s trained runner will be partnered by S. G. McDermott, who is quite new at this level and will need to make a solid impression today in order to impress one and all.
Other than the top two favourites, Ainm Spartacus can also fight for victory at Thurles today. He has taken part in only one chase race, but was unable to make an impression in it.
Kieran Purcell’s trainee will be partnered by young jockey, P. F. Mangan, who is yet to win any race while chasing.
