Number Theory to pair up wins at Haydock through the Taylormade Betting Handicap
The line-up of fourteen for the Class 4 Taylormade Betting Handicap is fairly experienced at Haydock. The race will be held over a mile, three furlongs and two hundred yards on Thursday, 24th May. The prize money for the winner is set at £4,075.
An entry to have raced and won there but during the previous season is Number Theory, Halling’s four-year-old bay gelding out of mare, Numanthia. He won the Hattons Supporting Saints Handicap on 16th July at Haydock over a mile and two and a half furlong.
He had to snatch away the win by a narrow margin of a short head’s distance by which the runner up of the race, Lord Raglan, was pursuing. The winner was coupled with Lucy K. Barry for the race.
Settling third was Bollin Dolly while the 100/30 favourite of the race, Pandorica, managed the fourth position.
His seasonal debut was at Haydock in the Concourse Pharmacy 25th Anniversary Handicap on 28th April at Haydock over a mile and two and a half furlong. Number Theory ended third as the race was taken away by The Galloping Shoe.
Finishing the closest to the winner was the 7/4 favourite of the race, Media Hype.
The four-year-old is in for the second seasonal outing today and at the same race course.
An entry to look out for will be Braveheart Move, Cape Cross’ six-year-old bay gelding out of mare, Token Gesture. His seasonal debut was at the same race course too on 12th May in the Network Sales & Marketing Handicap over a mile and two and a half furlong.
The race was won by Licence To Till who led the 5/2 favourite runner up of the race, Sugar Hiccup, by three and a half lengths.
Braveheart Move could only manage the last position in the race that was being contested by five runners.
Last time that the six-year-old raced at Haydock was on 4th September, 2010 in the Betfred Kingspin Old Borough Cup (Heritage Handicap) over a mile and six furlongs.
Kansai Spirit was the 4/1 favourite winner of the race while Braveheart Move finished third in line behind the winner.
Number Theory leads on with his chances.
