Lyreen Legend looking to win Getaway Novice Hurdle
Lyreen Legend is expected to sustain his winning momentum and finish first in Coolmore N.H Sires Ask & Getaway Novice Hurdle which is going to take place at Fairyhouse racecourse on Sunday, April 8.
The significant contest over 2m4f distance will commence at 2:55 (GMT). There is reserved huge prize money worth €26,000 for the mega marathon.
Lyreen Legend is quite confidence to outplay his 13 competitors including Lord Windermere, Ballysteen, Bridgets Pet, Earls Quarter, Giant’s Quest, Ipsos Du Berlais, Jenari, Laganbank, Maller Tree, Savello, Texas Jack, Turban and His Excellency.
The D. T. Hughes-trained bay gelding has been performing marvellously since making his debut in March 2011. The talented horse broke his maiden on October 29, 2011.
After finishing 3rd in a race on November 12, he stepped ahead to grab another triumph on December 19. The maverick sprinter carried his winning momentum forward to 2012 as well and excellently notched a runner-up rank each in two subsequent outings
during January.
The five-year-old novice runner elegantly finished first in his last outing on March 1. Thus, he has accomplished 3 epic triumphs by running for 8 times in his career.
At the moment, the brilliant gelding is carrying immense confidence and form which will help him create a huge difference in tomorrow’s showdown. Lyreen Legend’s chances to thrive are as high as 90 percent.
However, some of his rivals like Lord Windermere and Bridgets Pet can give him enough tough time on the track.
Lord Windermere bagged a couple of consecutive victories during November-December 2011. After finishing 4th in a big race on February 12, 2012, the J. H. Culloty-trained bay gelding excellently grabbed top spot in his last start on March 11.
On the other hand, Bridgets Pet also won two races in a row during September-October 2011. On February 11, 2012, the trainee of Anthony Mullins again attained a superb triumph. He finished 3rd in last outing on March 1.
Along with this duo, Earls Quarter and Savello will also be able to exhibit decent runs in the race which is likely to have many twists and turns. Let us see who gains what and how Lyreen Legend struggles to justify his favourite tag. Good luck to all the
contestants.
