Katmai River to triumph in the Read Ryan Moore Exclusively On Betfair Handicap on 26th April, 2012
Brighton will host the Read Ryan Moore Exclusively On Betfair Handicap on 26thApril, 2012, where thirteen runners will compete for the purse of £1,617 over a distance of 6 furlongs and 209 yards.
Katmai River, son of Choisir, out of Katavi, has the most appeal on this track today. He began this season on 9th January, 2012, and finished in sixth place in the Bet At Blue Square Apprentice Handicap at Wolverhampton.
The five-year-old gelding showed remarkable progression along with consistency in his next three starts, as he finished thrice as a runner-up.
With jockey, David Probert, aboard, he missed the victory by 3 ¼ lengths in the 32Red Casino Handicap at Kempton on 12th January, 2012.
The bay gelding tried his level best to land a victory in the 32Red Handicap on 22nd January, 2012, on the same track, but narrowly missed it as he fell a neck behind, Garstang.
It was a close finish and he could have conquered it easily but luck was not on his side.
On 8th February, 2012, Katmai River, trained by Mark Usher, raced as a joint favourite with Vhujon, in the Skysports.com Dvinsky's 200th Run Racing Handicap (Div II) at Kempton, but could not claim the victory as he fell 1 ¼
lengths behind Sole Danser.
Basle, daughter of Trade Fair, out of mare Gibaltarik, might be the only one who can challenge Katmai River in today’s race.
The five-year-old mare, whelped on 25th February, 2007, is currently under the training of g*y Kelleway.
The bay mare is owned by Countrywide Classics Limited, as she performed well in the beginning of her career and landed a victory in her second career start.
Saddled by jockey, Jerry O'Dwyer, she raced as a favourite with a 1 to 4 shot, and triumphed over Valmina, by 2 lengths in the Cleanevent Median Auction Maiden Stakes on 31st October, 2009.
This season she secured a single placed finish out of her five starts.
Bred by W H R John And Partners, the mare missed the victory by a marginal difference of a head to, Super Frank, in the Marriottlingfield.co.uk Handicap at Lingfield on 24th February, 2012.
Katmai River is most likely to take the race today. It is now time for him to bring all he has to the table and finally land a much deserved victory. Basle might finish closely behind as a runner-up.
