Grace Hall facing tough opposition in Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs
Grace Hall is likely to dominate proceedings in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks, taking place at Churchill Downs in United States of America (USA) on Friday, May 4th.
However, the 3-year-old will have to perform out of her skin to do well, because she is facing a tough opposition today.
Among his rivals are: On Fire Baby, Summer Applause, Eden's Moon, Hard Not to Like, Broadway's Alibi, Sacristy, Jemima's Pearl, Believe You Can, And Why Not, Karlovy Vary, Colonial Empress, Amie's Dini and Yara.
The ultimate champion will bag a hefty cash prize worth £364,000. Bettor.com presents an exclusive preview in order to help the punters.
Grace Hall has been performing brilliantly since the start of her career. In the early days of her journey, the bay filly sealed three consecutive wins, making a fine impression.
After three straight triumphs, she lost her rhythm for a while and as a result, finished second in two consecutive races. Anthony Dutrow’s trainee regained her winning momentum at the end of March.
In the Grade 2 Gulfstream Oaks, she displayed a wonderful performance and seized the top position by six and a half lengths.
Since the filly has been maintaining the highest standards of speed since her debut, one can expect her to outsmart her rivals comfortably today.
On the other hand, Broadway's Alibi is aiming to complete her hat-trick. The three-year-old made her debut with a huge bang at the start of this year, clinching the top spot in the Grade 2 Forward Gal Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
She went on to grab another comprehensive win at the start of last month. In the Grade 3 Comely Stakes, the Todd Pletcher-trained beat Welcome Guest by three and a half lengths.
On Fire Baby is also a dangerous candidate. The Gary G Hartlage-trained demonstrated a terrific show last month, winning the Grade 3 Honeybee Stakes by a couple of lengths.
According to our calculations, it would be a hard battle between Grace Hall and Broadway's Alibi. Our vote goes to Grace Hall, who has been delivering good results since the start of her career. We wish the best of luck to everyone.
