The Nifty Fox likely to win Best Odds At BetVictor.com Handicap
The Nifty Fox is expected to shine in the Best Odds At BetVictor.com Handicap at Ayr in England on Monday, July 9, 2012. A cash prize of £2,264 has been set for the class-5 winner.
There will be seven runners fighting over a distance of 6 furlongs in the race, which is scheduled to start at 15:30 GMT. The ground has become soft due to the overnight rain and the weather could be the determining factor today.
Looking at the experience and recent performances of The Nifty Fox, it will be a clever decision to risk bets on him. He has been given a general starting price of 6 to 4 by the bookies.
The eight-year-old gelding has proved to be extremely fit, as he has been consistently running in different conditions over the past many years. Overall, he has entered 86 events in his career, which shows the level of experience he has gained until now.
If he continues delivering decent performances, he will definitely complete a century of race starts.
However, the Tim Easterby’s trainee does not have a good strike rate, as he has only managed to win eight races. Other than that, he has finished runner up on seven times whereas secured the third place on 13 occasions.
Foxhound’s son out of Nifty Alice first came onto the scene in 2006 and delivered a decent show in his first ever race, finishing fourth in it. He had to wait for quite some time in order to bring up his maiden win though, but he achieved it in his debut
season.
Since then, the seasoned runner has been doing a good job for his owner, Roy Peebles, as he was won a lot of prize money. He looked out of touch in the 2012 season and struggled to deliver a decent result at the start of this year.
However, things got better for The Nifty Fox with the passage of time, as his trainer worked extremely hard on his form. He managed to win his most recent race, which shows that he is carrying a terrific momentum right now. He will be pairing up with jockey,
James Sullivan in the race today, who does have experience, but lacks consistency.
