Sea Moon expected to shine in King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes Sponsored By Betfair
Sea Moon is expected to shine in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes Sponsored By Betfair (British Champions Series) (Group 1) at Ascot in England on Saturday, July 21, 2012. He will have to outperform nine other quality runners in order to claim
a cash prize of £567,100.
The going will be good to soft in the all important class-1 event, which is scheduled to start at 16:35 GMT. Looking at the list of runners, one thing is clear that the competition will be a close one and the spectators will thoroughly enjoy it.
Stamina will be the key in the 1 mile 4 furlong race. If the conditions remain the same, Sea Moon will have a great chance of fighting at the front. His team will be hoping that rain stays away from Ascot throughout the day.
The young colt has been priced 3 to 1 by the bookmakers and the punters should not hesitate while placing bets on him. He is carrying the winning momentum at the moment and it will be difficult for others to stop him from taking the top spot.
The four-year-old runner has got a decent strike rate, as he has won five times out of eight attempts. In addition to that, he has secured the runner up position on a couple of times whereas finished third once.
Beat Hollow’s son first appeared onto the scene in October 2010 and was rated as the favourite by the bookies straight away. He was unable to meet their expectations though and finished runner up by a short head distance.
However, the result would have given him immense confidence and he managed to be successful in his next race. These were the only two events he took part in that year and started the next year on a high as well.
The Sir Michael Stoute’s trainee won his first couple of races in 2011 and performed well in the last two events of that year as well. He has taken part in just a couple of events in the ongoing season and triumphed in both of them. His most recent victory
came at Ascot under Ryan Moore, who will be partnering him today once again.
