Ortensia in a solid position to win Darley July Cup
Ortensia is one of the top contenders for victory in the Darley July Cup (British Champions Series And Global Sprint Challenge) (Group 1) at Newmarket in England on Saturday, July 14, 2012. The class-1 winner will be awarded a cash prize of £256,329 in the
end.
The track will be soft in the 6 furlong race, which is scheduled to start at 15:20 GMT. A total of 15 runners have been attracted towards the event, thus the competition will be quite an interesting one.
Looking at the overall statistics of Ortensia, she appears to be in a very good position right now. She might not like the conditions at the venue, but has the experience to cope up with any situation. Her performances in recent times have been extremely
good, thus the bookmakers have awarded her a general starting price of 9 to 1. It will be a good idea to risk money on her.
The seven-year-old mare has participated in 31 events and her performances have been really good. She has triumphed in 11 races whereas secured the runner up spot on three times. In addition to that, she has also finished third on four occasions, which proves
her ability to battle at the top.
Ortensia made a fantastic start to her career in 2008 and she was surely one of the most consistent debutants that year. Out of her five races in that season, she was victorious on three times whereas did not drop out of the top three even once.
The start to the 2009 season was quite a good one for Paul Messara's trainee, as she continued to win races with consistency. She struggled a bit towards the end of that year, but still managed to finish on a positive note, winning the last race of the season.
However, things went wrong for the seasoned runner in 2010 and she lost her winning touch. She was not competitive at all and it took her quite some time before getting into a decent position once again.
In the ongoing season, Testa Rossa’s daughter has participated in just a couple of races and managed to win one of them. She will be expected to put up a strong show today as well and her partner will be William Buick.
