Gervinho confident to win Breeders´ Cup Juvenile Turf
Gervinho’s grand victory in the Zuma Beach Stakes (Turf) of October 8---the race hit at Santa Anita which is hosting Breeders’ Cup these days--- was an indication that the Carla Gaines trained bay colt would make a big impact in the subsequent events.
Today is the colt’s time to prove his fresh talent to the world as he is lined-up among 14 runners who are going to compete for the ace title of the Breeders´ Cup Juvenile Turf.
The £348,387 contest is set to go over the firm course of 1 mile. The advantage that Gervinho enjoys over his rivals is that the distance, the surface and the venue all go to his favour as he has experienced them once.
The novice American horse has won all of his total two starts so far. He started his career by winning Maiden Special Weight (Polytrack) at Del Mar. Being 8-5 favourite, he beat U'Narack by ¾ length to thrive.
After the fabulous start, the young and talented colt demonstrated his class in the Zuma Beach Stakes (Turf).
Both of the times, it was witnessed that the runner had immense firepower in his legs and sheer aggression in his mind. These two things are essential for building up a promising career in horseracing.
Today’s race will be the real test of Gervinho’s capabilities. If he wins, this will be a big breakthrough at the threshold of his career.
The colt is going to warm up his heels under the regular jockey R. Bejarano. The combination of the duo had been good enough in the past, and hopefully, it will go well today.
But one thing is clear that Gervinho will have to pass through fire and thorns before tasting victory as he is against some big guns like Fantastic Moon, Dundonnell, Balance The Books, Know More, Dry Summer and Joha.
The competition will definitely be tough. The colt has to beat experience and solid talent to make his way towards success. This is an arduous challenge.
The sport lovers are eager to watch this thrilling show. Let us see who turns to become the champion. Good luck to all.
