Poole Harbour expected to thrive in Get Your Bet On At Bluesq.Com Stewards’ Sprint Stakes (Handicap)
On the card of the 28-runner race of the Get Your Bet On At Bluesq.Com Stewards’ Sprint Stakes (Handicap), the legendary trainer Richard Hannon’s star bay colt, Poole Harbour, seems to be the strongest candidate who is likely to demonstrate winning performance at Goodwood on Saturday, August 4 in a bid to add another success to his portfolio.
The high-voltage Class 2 contest over 6 furlongs is scheduled to start at 2:05 (GMT). A prize cheque worth £18,675 is ready for the winner.
Poole Harbour has been doing well since the very beginning of his 7-race career. Debuting with the runner-up position on May 13, 2011, the three-year-old young and energetic runner finished 5th in each of the two subsequent starts.
After standing 6th in the Betfred.com Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Goodwood on May 5, 2012, the talented son of Elusive City out of Free Lance marvellously broke his maiden in the Betfair Supporting Grassroots Racing Maiden Stakes (Div II) at Kempton on May 28----he was the 3-1 favourite for that race.
The Lisieux Stud bred confident colt moved ahead to grab another grand victory in the FGS Plant Folkestone Hammer (A Handicap), held at Folkestone on June 29. These two back-to-back triumphs boosted up his morale to a great extent.
The Heffer Syndicate owned maverick sprinter nicely finished 5th against 17 rivals in the Capital & Regional Handicap at Ascot on July 20.
Now, Poole Harbour is quite ready to face a big challenge in today’s marathon. If he manages to run to his best, no one can deny him victory. However, he will have to be cautious of Klynch who elegantly accomplished three classic conquests in a row during June-July 2012.
The Ruth Carr trained bay gelding finished 4th against a dozen of competitors in the John Smith's Scottish Stewards' Cup (Handicap), held at Hamilton on July 14, 2012. As a whole, he has won 10 of his total 70 starts so far.
Thus, the son of Kyllachy out of Inchcoonan can give tough time to Poole Harbour, and a fierce battle is expected between the two. Good luck to them.
