Trojan Rocket to shoot through the Betfair Sprint Flat Series Final (Handicap)
Emerging from a back-to-back, Trojan Rocket, has surged his chances for striking a hat-trick through the outing today to, 6 to 1. He is backed by these odds against thirteen other three-year-old and above runners for the Class 3 Betfair Sprint Flat Series
Final (Handicap) at Warwick over six furlongs.
The Michael Wigham trained will have his first outing at the race course today, as all the other seven attempts have been at different race tracks.
Picking up the prize money of four out of the 2012 campaign’s races is a pretty impressive record set by the four-year-old bay gelding. For two times now he has bagged a back-to-back, failed at notching it up to hat-trick at the first instance, and is highly
lucky that the chance has presented itself yet again.
The debut success for Elusive City’s bay gelding was in the Bet At Blue Square On Your Mobile Handicap on 6th February, 2012 at Wolverhampton over seven furlongs. The standard surface had him defeating, Legal Legacy, by just half-length.
The favourite winner was paired up with jockey, Darren Egan.
A runner-up’s position was followed by success in the bet365.com Handicap on 23rd June, 2012 at Newmarket over six furlongs.
The Irish bay gelding was once again sent in as the favourite entry, but raced in the highly capable hands of the jockey, Mickael Barzalona, this time.
Racing out of the tenth gate, Trojan Rocket, held in the rear for a bit, got challenged inside the final furlong, and staying strong had him edging past the closing in rival, Button Moon, by a head’s mark.
Pleased with the efforts and performance of their under charge, the connections had him entered in the poptelecom.co.uk Unlimited Broadband Handicap on 20th July, 2012 at Newmarket over six furlongs.
The charming duo added another success to their profile by defeating the most preferred entry, Rivas Rhapsody, by a nose’s mark.
The distance for today’s race is not alien to the second gate, and there is no other surface that has suited him better. Adding to the blessings for the day is the companion ship with the supremely acclaimed jockey, Mickael Barzalona.
