Sirius Chesnut chasing maiden victory in SIS Live Handicap Hurdle
Sirius Chesnut has got a great chance of winning the SIS Live Handicap Hurdle at Taunton in England on Thursday, November 15, 2012. He does not have a lot of experience, but has got the potential to be competitive at this level.
Therefore, the punters will be looking forward to risk a few bets in favour of the young runner, who has been given a pretty decent starting price by the bookmakers. He has never won a race in his career though, which will put him under immense pressure.
However, he has the ability to cope up with this situation and his fans will be backing him up in the class-4 contest, which will kick off at 15:10 GMT. A victory will earn him a cash prize of £3,422 at the end of the day.
Stamina will play a crucial role in determining the winner of the 2 mile 1 furlong race. The weather has been really good for racing and the going has been described as good by the organisers.
There are quite a few decent stallions lined up for action in the competition, but the bookies have given the highest odds to Dormouse, who has got plenty of experience in races over hurdles. He is carrying the winning momentum right now, which will help
him get the attention of the bettors as well.
The seven-year-old gelding has managed to succeed in five races over hurdles, which shows that he is capable of giving a tough time to his opponents. He would have fancied his chances more on a wet track, as he likes running under such conditions.
Despite that, the Anabel K. Murphy’s trainee will not be worried at all and will look to pressurise his younger rivals.
Coming back to Sirius Chesnut, he has only competed in a couple of races over hurdles, winning none of them. The best he could manage was a runner up position once whereas secured the third spot on the same number of times.
Furthermore, the track conditions will suit the Kim Bailey’s trainee more than his main rivals. Therefore, his confidence level will be good. He will be ridden by Ed Cookson in the race today.
