Glanmire Phanter eyes on Betfred Sprint Trophy after an unlucky failure
The bettors ignored Glanmire Phanter throughout the Coors Northern Sprint tournament despite the fact that he emphatically beat the favourite rival, Jumeirah Dubai, in the Heat 3. Their decision looked to be justified when the C. Lister trained black dog
lost the final game on November 4.
But now, the betting market seems to be leaning towards the two-year-old veteran hound ahead of the high-stakes event of Betfred Sprint Trophy that will start tonight at Nottingham racecourse.
Glanmire Phanter is set to participate in the Heat 2 with 5-4 odds. He will break from Trap 4 to run over the distance of 305 metres.
Hopefully, the skilled sprinter will not make any mistake this time, but try his level best to make up for the loss he suffered a week ago.
The trainer, the fans and the punters all look confident of the dog’s success. They have pinned a lot of hopes with him.
Glanmire Phanter’s comparison with the other five contestants shows that he is relatively stronger. The only thing he needs to do is to take quick start and then maintain the consistency of pace.
The son of Killahan Phanter out of Black Cue has accomplished some glittering feats since debuting in March.
The dog’s first OR victory came on July 7 when he beat Skane Meadows in the Williamhill.com Festival Flyer - Heat 3 at Sunderland.
On August 24, the maverick runner won HTB Electrical Contractors Sprint Trophy Heat 1 by two lengths. He nicely notched up the title of the Bet On Your Mobile At Ladbrokes Sprint on September 20 by beating the favourite candidate, Lil Risky, with a head’s
margin.
After winning the Stadium Bookmakers Sprint Trophy on October 15, Glanmire Phanter plunged into Coors Northern Sprint.
These stats show that the OR format has always been the dog’s cup of tea, but unfortunately, he has not done well in play-offs and finals.
With the Heat contest just a few hours away, Glanmire Phanter looks somewhat confident. All eyes are hinged on him. Let us see how he manages to come up to the expectations he has created in the hearts of his fans and the bettors. Good luck to the dog.
