Orgilgo Bay looking to break the shackles in Eyrefield Stakes
Orgilgo Bay has got a great chance of bringing up his maiden victory in the sport by claiming the Eyrefield Stakes (Listed Race) at Leopardstown in Ireland on Sunday, November 4, 2012. He has performed really well since making debut, but is yet to finish
at the top of the table for his team.
There has been plenty of rain around this track, which will make things a bit tricky. Some of the runners will be cautious, as the going has been described as soft. They will not enjoy running on such a ground, as the chances of injury are more compared
to a normal race.
However, there are a few stallions who enjoy running on a wet surface, thus they will be looking forward to the start of action at 15:05 GMT. The winner of the 1 mile 1 furlong event will be awarded a cash prize of €24,375 in the end.
A total of seven runners have been attracted towards the important contest and the competition amongst them will be a tough one. They have been trained really well and have the ability to deliver a positive result under such circumstances.
According to the bookies, the best chances of victory are with Beyond Thankful, who has enjoyed a lot under rainy conditions. He has been given a general starting price of 3 to 1 and will definitely get the attention of the punters.
The two-year-old colt has participated in five events until now and all of them were affected by rain. This shows that he likes running under such conditions and will be a strong contender for victory today.
The J. S. Bolger’s trainee finished as a runner up in his most recent race and will be looking to move one step ahead this time around.
However, Orgilgo Bay has the ability to spoil the party for the favourite runner. He has been given pretty decent odds for victory and it will be a good choice for the punters to risk money on him.
The John C. McConnell’s trainee has never managed to win a race in his career and will be looking to break the shackles this time around under Gary Carroll.
