Oscar Whisky will be the one to beat in Osborne House Relkeel Hurdle Grade 2
Only three runners will be battling out for glory in the Osborne House Relkeel Hurdle Grade 2 at Cheltenham in England on Saturday, December 15, 2012.
Although, they have all been trained well to deliver a strong result at this level, yet they will not find things easy today, as heavy rain has affected the racecourse.
Due to this, the race could go in anyone’s favour and the punters will not like this uncertainty at all. They would like to have a clear picture, so that they can risk money on the favourite runner.
The organisers have described the going as heavy and they might have to conduct an inspection before the start of proceedings at 15:40 GMT.
Looking at the entire situation, the contestants will need to be extremely careful during the 2 mile, 4 furlong and 110 yard race, as there is always a chance of sustaining an injury under such circumstances.
Therefore, they should not push to the limit, as their careers are more important than winning a cash prize of £22,780 from the class-1 contest.
Despite the bad weather, each participant will be eagerly looking forward to the all important race.
Looking at the records of everyone, Oscar Whisky has been granted the best odds for a victory, as no other runner poses a threat for him at this level. He is a brilliant fighter and will look to be dominant at the end of the day.
The bettors will definitely risk the maximum number of bets on favour of the seasoned challenger from Ireland. They have a chance of winning some easy money today, but the ground conditions will put a few doubts in their minds.
This situation will not worry Oscar Whisky, who won his most recent race under similar circumstances. His confidence level will be high and it will not be easy for his rivals to come anywhere closer to him.
The Nicky Henderson’s trainee has participated in 13 events, winning nine of them whereas finished in third place once. This clearly shows what he can achieve in this format of racing.
Oscar’s son was victorious in his previous two races and will be eying yet another hat-trick under jockey, Barry Geraghty, who has been accompanying him since the start of his career.
