Sholaan favourite for Betfred "The Bonus King" Stakes
Sholaan is tipped to succeed in the Betfred "The Bonus King" Stakes (Heritage Handicap) at Newmarket in England on Friday, July 13, 2012. The winner of the class-2 event will be awarded a cash prize of £62,250 in the end.
The competition in the 6 furlong event will be quite an interesting one, as there will be 20 runners taking part in it. However, that number may come down before the start of action, as the going will be soft and it will not suit the running style of a few
participants.
Despite all that, quality horseracing action will be provided to the spectators at Newmarket. There will be a few runners in contention for victory and Sholaan will be one of them, as he is a decent runner and has done well on soft ground in the past. He
will definitely win some bets from the punters and the bookies rate him highly too. He has been given a starting price of 7 to 1 today.
The three-year-old gelding has participated in a total of seven events and his performances in them have been quite impressive. He has only failed to make it to the top three on a couple of times, which shows that he is capable of fighting for top positions
with consistency.
The William Haggas’ trained runner first came onto the scene in 2011 and was unable to win any race that year. He took part in just three events back then and the best he could manage was the runner up place on a couple of times.
However, things turned out to be quite positive for the young gelding next year, as he was victorious in his first race of the 2012 season. He was rated as the favourite back then and did not disappoint his fans, winning by two and a half lengths.
Invincible Spirit’s son was unable to repeat a similar show in his next race and finished in a disappointing eight place, despite being tipped to win once again. He bounced back strongly though, winning the next event by five lengths. His last outing also
proved to be a good one, as he secured the third spot in it.
Liam Jones will be the one partnering Sholaan in the race at Newmarket today.
