Worthadd tipped to upset Frankel in Queen Anne Stakes
Worthadd has a solid chance of causing an upset in the Queen Anne Stakes (British Champions Series) (Group 1) at Ascot in England on Tuesday, June 19, 2012. The winner of the class-1 event will be awarded a cash prize of £198,485.
The going will be good to soft in the 1 mile race, which is scheduled to start at 14:30 GMT, and following runners have been attracted towards it: Frankel, Excelebration, Strong Suit, Helmet, Side Glance, Worthadd, Premio Loco, Red Jazz, Indomito, Bullet
Train and Windsor Palace.
Out of the above mentioned runners, the best chances of victory appear to be with Frankel, as he has got a phenomenal record. He has participated in 10 races and has got a 100 percent winning record, which will definitely encourage the punters to place the
maximum number of bets on him.
The Sir Henry Cecil’s trainee has proved to be dominant in both the shorter and longer distance races, which suggests that no one will be able to stop him from continuing his winning streak.
However, there is one runner, Worthadd, who might spring up a surprise today. He has never been up against Frankel, thus it will be hard to judge whether he can be competitive or not.
The impressive thing about Worthadd is that his record is terrific and he has been doing well in the longer distance events. The conditions at Ascot suit his running style, thus he has a solid chance of creating history.
The five-year-old horse has participated in 15 races, winning nine of them and finishing runner up once. In addition to that, he has secured the third spot on a couple of times, which means that he only failed to make it to the top three on three occasions.
Veteran jockey, Frankie Dettori, will be partnering the Sir Mark Prescott Bt’s trainee in the race. No one can doubt the credentials of the seasoned rider, who has performed exceptionally at the highest level.
Other than the top two favourites, Excelebration and Strong Suit will also be in contention for victory. However, both have suffered defeats against Frankel in the past, thus the bettors would not be interested in risking a lot of money on them.
