Farraaj set to shine in bet365 Mile (Group 2)
Farraaj seems to be in a great position to claim the bet365 Mile (Group 2) at Sandown in England on Friday, April 26, 2013. He is a terrific performer and has made his team proud on numerous occasions before, so his fans will be upbeat about his chances
in the all important event, scheduled to kick off at 14:45 GMT.
Although there are some other solid challengers looking to make an impression in the race, yet the bookies have shown more confidence in the abilities of Trumpet Major, who has been highly inconsistent last year.
The four-year-old colt has been given a general starting price of 5 to 2, which clearly shows that he cannot be taken lightly at all. However, it will be interesting to see whether the punters show the same level of confidence in his abilities or not.
The Richard Hannon’s trained stallion has got a pretty decent record overall, as he has managed to succeed in five races out of 14. Moreover, he has finished as a runner up and in third place once each, which proves that he can be challenging at this level.
Despite that, there will be immense pressure on him, as he will have to weather the storm from some quality performers. He will definitely give his best shot though, as the winner will walk away with a cash prize of £51,039 in the end.
Coming back to Farraaj, one cannot rule him out of contention completely, as he is a fierce competitor. He has never dropped out of the top-three in his career thus far, which shows what he is capable of achieving in the class-1 clash at Sandown.
His stamina is really impressive, which will help him fight at the front in the 1 mile 14 yard competition. Moreover, the ground has been described as good, which will make things smooth for him and all of the other stallions too.
Overall, the Roger Varian’s trainee has taken part in eight events, winning four of them. Other than that, he finished as a runner up on a couple of times and secured the third spot on the same number of times too.
