Lightning Launch chasing first victory in Greene King Maiden Stakes
Lightning Launch will be chasing his first ever victory in the sport, by claiming the Greene King Maiden Stakes at Goodwood in England. He will have to run really well in order to win the cash prize of £4,528 from the class-4 event.
All the runners taking part in the 1 mile event are inexperienced and have not won any race in their career. This will make things challenging for the punters, as they will be risking their money at the end of the day.
The weather has been perfect over the past few days, thus the going will be good. This means that all runners will be available for action, which is a positive sign for the spectators and organisers.
Looking at the overall statistics of the participants, it is difficult to judge whether which one will be fighting for victory at the end of the day. However, the bookmakers believe that Restraint Of Trade will be the one to watch out for. He has been given
the best odds for victory because of his strong pedigree. He is the son of Authorized out of Zivania and has been trained by veteran, Mahmood Al Zarooni.
Despite that, the punters might be a touch hesitant over placing bets on him, as he will be a touch nervous today. He will be running for the first time in his career and a little mistake could shatter his confidence.
On the other hand, Lightning Launch will also be a top contender for victory in the race, as he has shown the skills to fight against the best in the business at this level. He has been priced 11 to 4 by the bookies and will definitely get the attention
of the punters.
The two-year-old colt has participated in a couple of events until now and his performances in them have been pretty good. He was unable to cause many problems for his rivals on debut, but still finished in a decent fourth place in the end.
In his most recent race, the Mick Channon’s trainee secured the third position, which was an encouraging sign for his team. He will need to make more improvement in order to claim the top spot at Goodwood under experienced jockey, Matthew Davies.
