The Real Article hot favourite for Hermitage Green 26th July (Q.R.) Race
The Real Article is likely to dominate proceedings in the Hermitage Green 26th July (Q.R.) Race at Limerick in Ireland on Friday, June 22, 2012. The winner of the race will walk away with a cash prize of €8,625.
The track conditions will be good to soft in the 2 mile event, which is scheduled to start at 20:45 GMT, and a total of 13 runners have been attracted towards it. Their names are as follows: The Real Article, Rossvoss, Endless Intrigue, Caim Hill, Black
Benny, Benash, Deutschland, Aughnacurraveel, First Impressions, Kalellshan, Capal Dubh Alainn, Dearest and Dearest Girl.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Deutschland will not be seen in action. The conditions do not suit his running style, thus his trainer has withdrawn his name from the list. He could have attracted a lot of bets today, as he is an experienced campaigner.
The nine-year-old gelding has participated in 51 events, winning eight of them and finishing runner up on seven times. In addition to that, he has also secured the fifth place on five occasions.
Despite the absence of Deutschland, the competition will still be tough in the race. However, the record of The Real Article suggests that he will walk away with a comfortable victory in the end.
The seven-year-old gelding has got plenty of experience and his performances in recent times have also been good. He has entered a total of 17 events, winning nine of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he has secured the third spot on
a couple of times, which means that he only dropped out of the top three on five times.
In his most recent run, the E. J. O'Grady’s trainee performed brilliantly, as he finished first in it. He was not rated as the favourite to win back then, but dominated proceedings, winning by more than a couple of lengths.
It will be difficult to stop The Real Article from winning today’s race, as he is in tremendous form right now. He will be partnered by Mr J. T. Carroll, who does not have a lot of experience, but does have the ability to win races.
