Jonny Delta set to cause an upset in Isle Of Skye Blended Scotch Whisky Handicap
Jonny Delta has got a very good chance of causing an upset in the Isle Of Skye Blended Scotch Whisky Handicap (for The Willie Park Trophy) at Musselburgh in England on Monday, October 15, 2012. He does not have a much impressive record, but the good to soft conditions will suit him more than some of the other runners.
A total of 13 stallions have been attracted towards the 2 mile long race, which has a cash prize of £7,116 for the winner. Stamina will be the key in the event and the ones who push harder at the start will not be able to make any impression in the end.
None of the participants have been in dominant form recently, which will make the competition quite interesting. However, the bookmakers expect Los Nadis to walk away with a comfortable victory in the race, as he has got a lot of experience. He has been priced 7 to 2 and will be accompanied by seasoned jockey, Graham Lee.
The pair did not enjoy a very good time when they came together last time around. The conditions did not work out well for them and they had to settle for seventh place in the end. Despite that, they will be hoping to make a strong impression at Musselburgh.
Overall, the Jim Goldie’s trainee has participated in a total of 65 events, winning 11 of them and finished as a runner up on the same number of times. In addition to that, he has secured the third spot on nine occasions, which shows that he is quite capable of troubling his opponents.
However, things will not be easy for the veteran runner, as he will have to handle the pressure from someone like Jonny Delta, who has been given a general starting price of 8 to 1. He does not have a lot of experience, but still will not be under much pressure at the moment.
The five-year-old gelding has appeared in just 17 races until now, winning a couple of them. He will need to improve his strike rate in order to gain the confidence of the punters. He finished third in his most recent outing, thus his fans will be backing him up for a strong show today. He will be ridden by experienced jockey, Joe Fanning.
