Stoney’s Treasure eying an upset in Alice & George & Terry Peak Graduation Chase
Stoney’s Treasure will be looking to cause an upset in the Alice & George & Terry Peak Graduation Chase at Newbury in England on Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Things will not be easy for him, as the competition in the class-2 event will be a tough one.
However, the seasoned runner has done a decent job in races over fences, which means that he likes running in this format. His most recent performances have not been bad at all, but it has been quite some time since he took part in any race. Therefore, he
might be a touch rusty at the end of the day.
A total of five challengers have been attracted towards the 3 mile contest, which will definitely test their stamina. They will have to be extremely fit in order to make a strong impression today.
The weather has not been good for racing, as there has been plenty of rain at Newbury over the past couple of days. Due to this, the going has become soft and it will demand some extra effort from the contestants.
A cash prize of £10,397 will be awarded to the triumphant stallion, so everyone will be looking to give their best shot. The action is going to kick off at 14:25 GMT.
Looking at the records of all the participants, it is extremely difficult to ignore Rose Of The Moon, who has been awarded the highest odds for a victory today. He will enter the competition with a starting price of 11 to 8, which clearly shows what is expected
from him at Newbury.
The punters will definitely gamble a lot of bets in his favour, as he has maintained a 100 percent winning record in chase events.
However, the David O'Meara’s trainee has not appeared in a lot of such competitions, so he needs to deliver some more solid performances in order to gain the confidence of everyone regularly.
On the other hand, Stoney’s Treasure does not have a high strike rate, but he knows how to deliver quality results in this format. The wet track will definitely suit him more than others, so it will be a good idea to risk some money on him.
