Hoarding reserves form for the Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Houghton Conditions Stakes
The Class 2 Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Houghton Conditions Stakes will be contested by five two-year-old runners who will take the mile challenge at Newmarket on Wednesday, 24th October. The prize money set aside for the race is £7,470.
There are entries in the field who will welcome the opportunity to improve their form.
One of the most impressive candidates in the line-up is the two-year-old American bay colt, Hoarding. The representative of trainer, John Gosden, took on the racing career just this season. He has been active six times during the new season, missing all
the first three attempts at the maiden stakes, and then breaking the unfortunate monotony only through the fourth outing of the career.
Elusive Quality’s bay colt was entered as the favourite for the In Memory Of Rapporteur Nursery on 5th September, 2012 at Lingfield over seven furlongs. To take down the field of twelve, Hoarding, was paired up with jockey, William Buick.
After racing out of the eleventh stall, the duo traced down the leaders. Almost throughout the track distance, drawing clear seemed like impossible for the team. Asking for speed just at the right time, had them defeating French Press by a length.
Ending at the third position was, Danz Choice.
His next racing stop was the Agriargo UK Tractor Challenge Nursery on 15th September, 2012 at Doncaster over a mile. Failing to retain the winning composure that impressed the connections previously, he qualified as the runner-up after missing
the winner’s spot by half-length.
The race was won by the Richard Hannon trained, Rising Legend, who had teamed up with jockey, Richard Hughes.
Catching up with the third position was, Ajmany.
The bay colt out of, What A Treasure, then ended third in the Cambridge News Excellent Horseracing Coverage Nursery on 27th September, 2012 at Newmarket over a mile.
The two-year-old was entered as the favourite for a straight third time with jockey, William Buick.
The race was won by, Red Avenger.
The 9 to 4 entry has drawn the second stall, and will be accompanied by the same jockey.
He will need to look out for, Rhamnus and So Beloved, who was impressive in the maiden stakes.
