Torres Del Paine prominent in the 3663 First For Food Service Stakes (Handicap)
The Class 4 3663 First For Food Service Stakes (Handicap) has gathered seventeen three-year-old and above contestants who will give in their best for bagging the £4,528 prize money. Goodwood will host the event on Wednesday, 26th September.
An entry who has not done much else than maintaining momentum throughout the season is the five-year-old bay horse, Torres Del Paine. He has raced five times during the new season, and has won thrice, scored second once and ended fourth at an occasion.
He settled second in the seasonal debut on 11th January, 2012 in the second division of the Book Now For Saturday Handicap at Kempton over six furlongs.
He missed the winner’s crown by the margin of 1 ½ lengths.
His next outing of the season was in the 32redbingo.com Handicap on 22nd January, 2012 at Kempton over six furlongs.
Racing from the seventh stall in the field of ten contestants, the break was smooth, but was hampered by the initial cluster. He stayed in the rear, and could resurface only when the final furlong of the track had to be battled over.
The aggression during the concluding stages of the race had him defeating, Valmina, by the margin of 1 ½ lengths.
Sustaining the form, the Jimmy Fox trained got entered as the favourite entry in the Calverts Carpets Handicap on 24th January, 2012 at Kempton over six furlongs.
Kieran O'Neill's mount did not break into an early gear, but made some commendable progress during the two upcoming furlongs. He was put under pressure which got him reeling in for the wire winning by almost a negligible margin of just half-length.
Taking refuge in the second position was, Haadeeth.
Losing the winning momentum to a fourth position in the next outing deprived him of a possible hat-trick.
Torres Del Paine won the Steljes 25 Year Celebration Classified Claiming Stakes on 12th September, 2012 at Kempton over six furlongs.
He is backed by 16 to 1 odds for the race today, and will get coupled with jockey, Kieran O’ Neill. The two will take on the challenge from the sixteenth gate.
