Raleigh Quay likely to win Brown Shipley Wealth Well Managed Handicap
Raleigh Quay is tipped to succeed in the Brown Shipley Wealth Well Managed Handicap at Musselburgh in England on Tuesday, July 24, 2012. A cash prize of £2,588 will be awarded to the triumphant horse.
Rain has stayed away from the ground, thus the going will be good in the 1 mile, 4 furlong and 100 yard race, which will start at 15:30 GMT. A total of 10 runners will be battling out for victory and the one with the best stamina will definitely have a better
chance of shining at the end of the day.
Looking at the statistics of all runners, it is clear that the competition will be a tough one today. There are a few participants, who have been delivering good results with consistency, thus it will be hard for the punters to choose their favourite.
However, Raleigh Quay has been in great shape this year and it will be difficult to risk bets against him today. He has been given a starting price of 3 to 1 by the bookmakers, which shows that they expect him to be competitive in the race.
Overall, the five-year-old gelding does not have a good winning percentage, as he has won just thrice in 26 events. In addition to that, he has secured the runner up position on five times whereas finished third on a couple of occasions.
Although this record suggests that the Micky Hammond’s trainee is not a consistent performer, his form this year tells a different story altogether. He has appeared in three events in 2012, winning one of them whereas finished runner up on a couple of times.
This goes onto show that the young gelding has improved with the passage of time and his trainer’s hard work has finally paid off. He first appeared onto the scene back in 2009 and won just one race that year. His performances in the next season were also
decent, but things worked completely against him in 2011.
Bachelor Duke’s son was unable to win any race last year, as his form dipped to a great extent. However, he is back in the business and also doing a respectable job under jockey, Shane B. Kelly, who will be partnering him today as well.
