Ortensia expected to be dominant in Betfred Sprint Cup (British Champions Series) (Group 1)
Ortensia seems to be in a great position to claim the Betfred Sprint Cup (British Champions Series) (Group 1) at Haydock in England on Saturday, September 8, 2012. She is carrying a terrific momentum right now, but things will not be easy for her, as the
pressure of delivering a good result at this level can prove to be too much.
Although, it is good to be the favourite for any event, yet it adds additional load on the runner. This is why the rest of the participants will be hopeful of getting an opportunity to make an impression in the race.
The class-1 event has a cash prize of £127,598 for the winner, thus everyone will be giving their best in the 6 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 15:25 GMT. The weather at Haydock has been perfect over the past few days, thus the going has remained
good to firm today.
Ortensia will enter the race with a starting price of 11 to 4, which shows that the bookmakers have got immense confidence in her abilities. She has got extremely good speed and that could help her dominate the proceedings at the end of the day. If she finishes
on top today, she will manage to record a hat-trick of victories.
The seven-year-old mare was triumphant in her previous two outings and she has won three races during the 2012 season. She is in very good rhythm right now and there is no reason why the bettors should risk money against her.
Overall, the Paul Messara’s trainee has appeared in 34 events and her winning percentage is not bad at all. She has managed to win 13 times, which shows that she has made her team proud on numerous occasions.
In addition to her victories, the Australian mare has finished as a runner up thrice whereas secured the third spot in four events. She is a highly competitive runner and does not allow her opponents to dictate terms.
Ortensia will just need a good start today and that will help her finish ahead of the rest. Veteran jockey, William Buick, will be partnering her today. Both have achieved great results before and will be eying another strong show today.
