Tullius likely to thrive in Totepool.com Sovereign Stakes (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings)
With the dawn of 2012, the Andrew Balding trained chestnut gelding, Tullius, gained some sort of miraculous momentum that led him to set a sterling success streak which he will extend by winning the Totepool.com Sovereign Stakes (Group 3) (Colts & Geldings)
at Salisbury racecourse on Thursday, August 16.
The ground seems to be soft enough and this is regarded as an ideal condition for the four-year-old veteran horse to run over 1 mile while facing seven strong rivals. A prize cheque worth £31,191 is waiting for the winner.
The son of Le Vie Dei Colori out of Whipped Queen possesses an epic track record. He has won 6 of his total 14 starts so far. On May 5, 2012, he marvellously finished first in the 15-runner race of the Makfi Suffolk Stakes (Handicap) at Newmarket.
The skilled sprinter moved ahead to notch up top spot by beating the hot favourite candidate, Skilful, in the Sky Bet Stakes (Listed Race) (Colts & Geldings) (Registered As The Royal Windsor Stakes). That race took place at Windsor on May 14.
The Sc Archi Romani bred talented gelding nicely won Ian And Kate Hall Macmillan Ganton Stakes (Listed Race) at York on June 16. He was the 8-13 favourite for that race.
Tullius stepped ahead to finish 3rd in his last start entitled as Transformers & Rectifiers Summer Mile Stakes (Group 2).
These stats show that the brilliant gelding possesses immense talent that will help him thrive convincingly in the coming contest.

After breaking his maiden with the title of "Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia" Awareness Maiden Stakes on May 24, the son of Montjeu out of Spinning Queen elegantly won a race each in June and July.
