Shop Dj rated as favourite for John Fowler Memorial European Breeders Fund Mares Chase
Shop Dj has been rated as the favourite horse for the John Fowler Memorial European Breeders Fund Mares Chase at Fairyhouse in Ireland on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. The triumphant runner will bag a cash prize of €21,125 in the end.
The stamina of all the participants will be tested in the race, as they will have to cover an overall distance of 2 miles and 4 furlongs. The going will be good to soft in the event, which is scheduled to start at 16:30 GMT.
A total of 10 runners have been attracted towards the race and their names are as follows: Shop Dj, Odonimee, Belle Brook, Gentle Alice, Special Token, Banjaxed Girl, Royal Choice, Askanna, Liberty Counsel and Avondhu Lady.
Although Shop Dj does not have a very good strike rate, the bookies have given her decent odds for today’s race. She has entered four chase races, winning just one of them. Other than that, he has also secured one runner up position, which suggests that
she is quite capable of fighting for victories.
In her most recent outing, the seven-year-old mare ended up fifth overall, which shows that she is in good rhythm right now. If she continues the same sort of form, she will manage to bring up her second chase victory today.
The Peter Fahey’s trained runner will be partnered by D. N. Russell, who has won six races while chasing. He has a decent strike rate and will definitely attract a lot of bets today.
On the other hand, Belle Brook will be chasing her second victory in such events. She is in decent form at the moment, thus the bettors might risk some money in her favour as well.
The eight-year-old mare has taken part in six chase races and her overall strike rate is not much impressive. She will need a special effort in order to bring up another victory in such events.
The Michael Cullen’s trainee will be ridden by P. Townend, who has not won any race while chasing, but will definitely look to make a big impression at Fairyhouse today.
Gentle Alice, Special Token and Banjaxed Girl will be the other runners, who will fight for race victory at Fairyhouse today.
