The Lock Master set to win Moor Top Farm Shop Hemsworth Handicap
The Michael Appleby-trained bay gelding, The Lock Master, will lock up his rivals convincingly to finish first in the Moor Top Farm Shop Hemsworth Handicap that is going to be held at Pontefract racecourse on Tuesday, July 10.
The five-year-old veteran horse is all ready to face 8 competitors in the Class 5 race that will be run on the soft track of 1 mile, 2 furlongs and 6 yards. At the end of the day, the winner will walk away with the prize cheque worth £2,264.
The Lock Master delivered some eye-catching performances during the last couple of months. After getting a third against 13 contestants in the Inkerman London Handicap (Betfair 10 Furlong Flat Series Qualifier) over 1 mile and 2 furlongs at Nottingham on May 11, the son of Key Of Luck out of Pitrizza marvellously accomplished a grand triumph at Southwell
This was the Millward Integrated Engineering Consultants Handicap over 1 mile, held on May 23. The experienced horse stepped forward to get three runner-up positions in a row during the first half of June---he had been a favourite for all the three races.
The K. G. Kitchen-owned brilliant gelding finished 4th against 8 runners in his last outing at Ayr. It was the Peoples Ford Handicap, took place on June 23.
These glaring stats suggest that The Lock Master will definitely be able to make a big impact in today’s event. However, he will have to be cautious of Watts Up Son who is carrying a lot of confidence following his tremendous victory in the Cumwhinton Handicap (Betfair 10 Furlong Flat Series Qualifer), held at Carlisle on June 18, 2012.
Earlier, the Declan Carroll-trained bay gelding finished 6th against 14 contestants in Ultimate Ladies Night On August 6th Apprentice Handicap over 1 mile at the same venue on May 28.
As a whole, the son of Diktat out of Local Fancy has won 4 of his total 26 starts so far. Thus, he is poised to give tough time to The Lock Master.
In this situation, a rip-roaring clash will be witnessed at Pontefract. Let us see who manages to thrive. Good luck to all the runners.
