Venetian Lad likely to complete hat-trick of Fontwell victories
Some sport lovers claim that Fontwell racecourse is Venetian Lad’s cup of tea and some say that he is born for this track only. These notions are true as the Lydia Richards trained veteran gelding has accomplished all of his three victories at this venue. This seems interesting and amazing at the same time.
The seven-year-old British horse gained 7-2 odds for each of his last four Fontwell trips, and this time again, the punters have picked him as the 7-2 favourite candidate for the high-voltage contest of Louis Latour Handicap Chase that is going to start just after a few hours.
Like always, the brilliant gelding will stretch his legs to his utmost over 2 miles and 6 furlongs to seal top spot. But unlike the previous times, the course surface for today’s race is heavy.
Some analysts opine that this ground can create some problems for Venetian Lad. This concern is genuine as it is always hard for a runner to deal with heavy soil.
On the other hand, the trainer seems to be quite satisfied with his pupil’s preparations for this race. According to him, the gelding will not take much stress for the new conditions.
The way Venetian Lad registered his three epic victories was amazing indeed. On May 16, he beat The Clyda Rover by ¾ length to break his maiden with the title of Quick Fire Powered By Microgaming Handicap Chase. That unexpected victory stunned all.
The son of Midnight Legend out of Henrietta Holmes went ahead to seal first position in the [e-mail] Handicap Chase. This time, he outplayed Zhukov convincingly by the mammoth margin of 15 lengths. It was more surprising.
The skilled gelding’s third victory came on October 6 when he beat Last Shot by a length in the BTU Supporting Help For Heroes Handicap Chase.
These three races prove that Venetian Lad has a lot of firepower under his belt, and Fontwell is always an ideal place for him to unleash it all.
Thus, we can expect that the Mrs Lydia Richards bred horse will be quite impressive in the coming contest. Good luck to him.
