Le Beau Bai rated favourite for bet365 Gold Cup Chase (Handicap) Grade 3
Le Beau Bai has been rated favourite for the bet365 Gold Cup Chase (Handicap) Grade 3 at Sandown in England on Saturday, April 28, 2012. The triumphant horse will be awarded a cash prize of £85,425.
The going will be soft in the 3 mile, 5 furlong and 110 yard race, which will definitely test the stamina of all runners. The action is scheduled to begin at 15:10 GMT and a total of 20 entries have been confirmed.
Following are the names of the runners taking part in today’s race: Le Beau Bai, West End Rocker, Major Malarkey, Galaxy Rock, Tidal Bay, Roalco De Farges, Ouzbeck, Aldertune, Dover´s Hill, Deep Purple, Rare Bob, Any Currency, Swing Bill, Viking Blond, Knighton
Combe, Tullamore Dew, Enter Paradise, Free World, Vic Venturi and Ethiopia.
Looking at the experience of Le Beau Bai, the bookmakers have awarded him with pretty decent odds. He has been performing well over the past few months, thus the punters are likely to place a lot of bets in his favour today.
The nine-year-old gelding has taken part in 17 chase races until now, winning six of them. In addition to that, he has also secured the third spot on four occasions, which shows that he consistently fights for the top positions.
It will be very difficult to stop the Richard Lee’s trainee from winning the race today, as his recent form has been quite impressive. He has won a couple of races out of his past three outings, which shows the kind of form he is in at the moment.
Le Beau Bai will be ridden by seasoned jockey Jamie Moore, who has got a decent record in chase races, winning 82 of them. However, he needs to be a lot more consistent in order to improve his strike rate.
Other than the race favourite, Roalco De Farges might also attract a lot of bets in his favour today. He has taken part in six chase races, winning a couple of them and finishing runner up once. Moreover, he also ended up third once, which means that he
only failed to make it to the top three on a couple of occasions.
West End Rocker, Major Malarkey, Galaxy Rock and Tidal Bay will be the other ones to watch out for in the race.
