Saloomy expected to shine in Newmarket Equine Hospital Stakes (Handicap)
Saloomy is likely to shine in the Newmarket Equine Hospital Stakes (Handicap) in England on Saturday, August 18, 2012. The winner of the class-2 event will earn a cash prize of £24,900 in the end.
A total of 15 runners have been attracted towards the 6 furlong event, which is scheduled to start at 15:20 GMT. They will have to display express speed in order to make the competition interesting. The weather at Newmarket has been really good, thus the
going will be good to firm overall.
Looking at the overall statistics of the runners, the bookmakers have given the best odds to Galician, who has got a pretty decent record. She has represented her team in 11 races, winning three of them. Moreover, she finished as a runner up on four times
whereas secured the third spot once.
Despite that, the young filly will not find it easy to battle at the top. She will be up against some strong runners such as Saloomy, who is carrying the winning momentum right now. He has been priced 6 to 1 by the bookies and the punters will also be interested
in risking a lot of bets on him.
The three-year-old colt does not have a lot of experience, but his performances have been really good. He has appeared in five events, winning a couple of them whereas finished as third once.
The David Simcock’s trainee made his debut in October 2011 and he was unable to make an impression back then. He was given pretty decent odds of 10 to 1, but failed to meet the expectations of the bookies, finishing in a disappointing seventh place. This
was his only appearance that year.
Although, the start to the ongoing season was also not a good one for the young runner, yet he showed a lot of character and bounced back strongly in the next few events. He has won a couple of back-to-back events and has got a great chance of recording
the first hat-trick of his career today.
However, things will not be easy at all for Saloomy. His partner in the race will be Raul Da Silva, who will be accompanying him for the first time in his career.
