Woodacre confident to keep his podium record intact
Woodacre is honoured to have stayed on the podium throughout his four-race career that shows three runner-up ranks and a triumph. As the Richard Whitaker trained bay gelding gets ready to heat up his heels in the $150M Breeders´ Cup Pools Maiden Stakes,
he is quite confident to perpetuate this record.
This time, his victory is imminent as none of his 11 competitors is strong enough to challenge him. The class 5 contest of £2,386 is scheduled to go down at Southwell racecourse on Thursday.
Woodacre will compete against 11 rivals over the standard track of 1 mile and 4 furlongs. The action will begin at 4:05 (GMT).
Both the venue and the distance are going to be new for the five-year-old novice runner who has experienced just good or good to firm surfaces so far.
Some sport experts opine that the British horse will take time to adjust his feet to the ground, but still, he is likely to be a tough contestant to beat.
The son of Pyrus out of Fairy Ring has proved his class against some big adversaries. Every time, he runs with sheer aggression combined with meticulous strategy.
Today, a new jockey, Amy Ryan, will be on his back. This change will also affect his performance in a positive way.
The Hellwood Stud Farm bred gelding debuted on September 24, 2011, finishing 2nd in his maiden race entitled as F Cross And Son Standard National Hunt Flat Race (Conditional Jockeys' And Amateur Riders' Race).
