Violent Velocity gets the best odds for Rowan Lodge Selling Stakes
Violent Velocity has been given the best odds for the Rowan Lodge Selling Stakes at Beverley in England on Wednesday, April 18, 2012. The triumphant horse will be awarded a cash prize of £1,682.
The going will be good in the 1 mile 100 yard race, which is scheduled to start at 14:10 GMT. Following are the runners expected to be seen in action: Violent Velocity, Rowan Lodge, Greyfriarschorista, River Ardeche, Marvo, Fu Fic Fas, Ra Junior, Rapturous
Applause, Woteva, Kheskianto, Lucky For Some, Penderyn and Wing N Prayer.
Out of the above mentioned runners, Rapturous Applause might be ruled out of action, as he is not fully fit. He was not in contention of winning the race, as his recent performances have been below par.
The bookies have shown immense confidence in the abilities of Violent Velocity, who is a veteran runner and has been delivering some very good results over the past few months. The bettors will also be risking some money in his favour, as he seems to be
unmatchable at Beverley today.
The nine-year-old gelding has participated in 82 races until now, winning just 10 of them. His strike rate is not good, but he has improved his performances recently. In addition to his victories, he has also secured 14 runners up positions and nine third
place finishes.
In his most recent outing, the John Quinn’s trained gelding ended up runner up. He was not the favourite to win, but still gave a tough time to his rivals. He will be partnered by Michael O'Connell, who is a good rider, but needs to work hard on improving
his overall strike rate.
The punters might also place some bets in favour of Greyfriarschorista, who has won six races out of 33 attempts. However, his recent form is not much impressive, which indicates that he will struggle to deliver a solid result at Beverley.
The Richard Guest’s trained gelding will be partnered by Duilio Da Silva, who does not have a lot of experience at this level, thus might find it hard to win.
River Ardeche, Marvo and Fu Fic Fas might also give a tough time to the race favourite today.
