Havana Gold looking strong to win Foundation Developments Novice Stakes
A thrilling action of horseracing is expected in the Foundation Developments Novice Stakes at Ascot in England on Friday, July 20, 2012. A cash prize of £6,469 has been set for the winner of the class-4 event.
The track will be good to soft and the spectators will be hoping for the weather to remain dry throughout the day. A total of five runners have been attracted towards the race and they will be battling out for victory over 7 furlongs. This means that speed will be crucial at the end of the day.
There are some young and exciting runners taking place in the race, which will make things quite interesting. All of them lack experience, thus there will be no added pressure on any single participant. Despite that, a victory will be important at this level, as it will boost the confidence of the triumphant horse.
Havana Gold seems to be in pretty good shape at the moment and he might be the right choice for the punters to place their bets on. However, they will have to be extremely careful while risking money on anyone, as all runners are almost equally capable of finishing at the top.
Although it is hard to predict the winner today, yet the bookmakers have shown full faith in the abilities of Havana Gold, as he is likely to shine in these conditions. A little more rain would definitely help his cause. He has been given a general starting price of 5 to 4, which shows that he is expected to dominate the proceedings completely.
The two-year-old colt does not have a lot of experience, but certainly has the skills to outperform his rivals at any level. He made his debut in the sport in June 2012 and caught the attention of everyone with his brisk speed.
The Richard Hannon’s trainee was not given the best odds for victory back then, but he surprised one and all with sheer brilliance in the end. He was held back at the start and no one would have given him a chance from that position.
However, the young colt showed a lot of character and caused an upset, beating Pearl Acclaim by one and a half length.
Considering that performance, no one seems to be in a position to match Havana Gold, who will be accompanied by Richard Hughes at Ascot.
