Domtaline favourite for University Partnership Programme Team Celebration Day Graduation Chase
Only three stallions have gathered around for a competition in the University Partnership Programme Team Celebration Day Graduation Chase at Exeter in England on Thursday, December 20, 2012.
They all seem to be evenly matched, so the competition amongst them will be a good one. The spectators will definitely enjoy this battle and they will be eagerly awaiting the start of action at 13:20 GMT.
Stamina will be the key, as the contestants will have to cover an overall distance of 2 miles, 1 furlong and 110 yards on a soft ground. This will make things more challenging for them, but they will still not be worried, as they have a chance of bagging
£10,010 in the end.
Domtaline has been rated as the outright favourite to succeed and will enter the race with a starting price of 13 to 8. He will definitely get the attention of the punters more than anyone else.
The French runner has got a pretty decent record in chase events, so he will be looking forward to a dominant run. Furthermore, he is not overly dependent on track conditions, so there will be lesser pressure on him.
Overall, he has appeared in just four contests in this format, winning two of them whereas finished as a runner up on the same number of times. This clearly shows that he cannot be ruled out of contention for a victory and the bookies have rightly given
him such high odds.
However, he disappointed his team last time around, when everyone was expecting him to walk away with an easy victory at Haydock. He struggled to some extent on a soft ground back then and had to settle for the runner up position in the end.
Despite that, his fans will be cheering him for another victory, as he is fully capable of making a comeback. He will be partnered by veteran jockey, Ruby Walsh, who has got an outstanding record in this form of racing.
On the other hand, Lidar and Snap Tie will also be entering the contest with high hopes. Both of them are loaded with immense talent and should definitely attract some bets in their favour today.
