False Economy prone to grab victory in Dog Food Chase
False Economy is well-prepared to grab a magnificent victory in today’s Madra Irish Dog Food Chase that will go down at Punchestown. The race will start at 6:20 (GMT) on May 8.
In pursuit of the prize cheque of €12,075 on the Soft track of 2 miles and 2 furlongs, the Michael Hourigan-trained bay gelding will compete against half a dozen rivals including Action Master, De Dodger, Imprial Shabra, Lambro, Perfect Smile and Slieveardagh.
False Economy is a truly talented runner who has accomplished a number of iconic feats in his career. Since the dawn of 2012, the maverick horse has been enjoying great form.
After finishing 7th in a race on February 24, he excellently stood first in the very next outing on April 1 while being a 3-1 favourite. The brilliant sprinter clinched 3rd position in his last start on April 8.
Overall, the son of Orpen out of Ashanti Dancer has won 6 of his total 26 starts to date, earning £55,549 as prize money.
Considered his impressive track record, the punters have given False Economy the vote of confidence. At the moment, the hot favourite gelding is awash with winning momentum that will help him thrive today.
However, Slieveardagh can trigger an upset in the race as the E. J. O’Grady-trained bay gelding has won 8 of his total 22 starts so far. With the beginning of 2012, the brilliant horse gained immense confidence.
After getting a runner-up rank on February 11, the veteran horse went on to break his maiden on March 4. He again achieved a classic triumph in his last start on March 31.
Imperial Shabra is also likely to do well in the Dog Food Chase. The Patrick O. Brady-trained bay gelding excellently finished first in a race on March 12, 2012. He moved ahead to grab a 5th position in each of the two subsequent outings.
In this situation, a rip-roaring clash is predicted. False Economy will have to fight hard in order to justify his favourite tag. Let us enjoy a remarkable action. Good luck to all the contestants.
