The Fonz looking to shine in Betfred "Bonus King Bingo" Handicap Hurdle
The Fonz has got a decent opportunity of claiming the Betfred "Bonus King Bingo" Handicap Hurdle at Southwell in England on Monday, November 12, 2012. Things will not be easy at all for him, but he will still be confident of bagging a cash prize of £4,431
from the class-3 encounter.
The weather has been really good for racing over the past couple of days, thus the going has become good at Southwell. This will be a positive sign for all the stallions and they will get an opportunity of pressing hard in the race, which is scheduled to
kick off at 14:15 GMT.
It will be important for all the participants to approach this event in a clever way. The overall distance to cover will be 2 miles, 4 furlongs and 110 yards, which means that speed will not be important at the end of the day. The ones who start steadily
and increase their pace afterwards will be at an advantage compared to the rest.
According to the bookmakers, the best chances of victory are with Joseph Lister, who has been given a general starting price of 5 to 2. He is a decent performer and has managed to make his team proud on quite a few occasions. He does not bother much about
the conditions, thus the bettors will be looking to gamble on him today.
The five-year-old gelding has got some useful experience in races over hurdles, but has been unable to maintain a decent winning percentage. He has been victorious just once in this format and will be hoping to change make an improvement in the coming years.
On the other hand, The Fonz will also get the attention of the punters despite the fact that he has been given average odds by the bookies. He has appeared in six races over hurdles, winning one of them whereas secured the third spot thrice, which shows
that he has the ability to be competitive at this level.
However, the Renee Robeson’s trainee was unable to complete his most recent race, so he might be a touch hesitant toady. He will be looking for some support from seasoned jockey, Jimmy McCarthy, who knows how to deliver under pressure.
