Fame And Glory expected to claim Gold Cup title
Fame And Glory is confident enough to unleash glorious performance at Ascot racecourse in an effort to lift the ace title of the Gold Cup (British Champions Series) (Group 1) contest that will take place today, June 21. The high-voltage Class 1 race will
commence at 3:45 (GMT).
On the good track 2 miles and 4 furlongs, the A. P. O’Brien-trained bay horse will face 8 strong rivals including Askar Tau, Bridge Of Gold, Caucus, Nehaam, Opinion Poll, Colour Vision, Gulf Of Naples and Saddler’s Rock. The winner will get £198,485 as prize
money.
Fame And Glory has earned immense fame for his aggressive and audacious style of running. The six-year-old veteran sprinter possesses a terrific track record, winning 14 of his total 22 starts to date.
The maverick horse marvellously won four races in a row from May 3 to August 8, 2010. He moved on to accomplish a glaring hat-trick of triumphs from April 17 to June 16, 2011.
The brilliant son of Montjeu out of Gryada excellently finished first in each of his last two starts. At the moment, he is on the verge of another hat-trick.
There is no denying the fact that Fame And Glory is awash with winning momentum and his chances to thrive are up to 90 percent, but Opinion Poll can wrest success from his jaws.
The Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained bay horse nicely grabbed two consecutive triumphs during July-August 2011. After getting three runner-up ranks in a row in the subsequent starts, the Godolphin-owned sprinter accomplished a classic conquest each on March 31
and May 31, 2012.
Overall, the son of Halling out of Ahead has won 10 of his total 25 starts so for. Thus, he is keen to give enough tough time to Fame And Glory, and there is going to be a neck-to-neck battle between the duo.
Gulf Of Naples also poses to be a strong contender for victory. The Mark Johnston-trained grey colt won two races in a row during October 2011. He went on to get a runner-up rank along with a triumph in April 2012. He gained two consecutive thirds in the
month of May.
Let us see who manages to turn the tables. Good luck to all the contestants.
