Zaeem likely to be dominant in Horseflies Handicap
Zaeem will be chasing a second consecutive victory in the sport, by claiming the Horseflies Handicap at Newmarket in England on Saturday, August 18, 2012. A victory in the class-4 event will earn him a cash prize of £5,175 in the end.
A total of nine runners have been attracted towards the 1 mile event, which is scheduled to start at 16:30 GMT. The going will be good to firm at Newmarket because the weather has been dry over the past few days. This means that no participant will have
any problem with the track conditions.
The bookmakers have rated Falcon In Flight as the favourite to succeed in the race, despite the fact that she failed to deliver a positive result in her most recent outing. However, that race was affected by rain and the conditions worked against her in
the end.
On the other hand Strada Facendo, Ruby Night and Kiz Kulesi have also managed to get pretty decent odds, as they are all extremely talented runners. They will certainly make the competition interesting for the spectators.
However, all these quality challengers will need to watch out for Zaeem, who seems to be full of confidence right now. He is a consistent performer and does not make a lot of mistakes. Due to this, he has earned a lot of respect amongst everyone and he will
enter the race with a starting price of 13 to 2. He will definitely get the attention of the punters today.
The three-year-old colt has appeared in just six races so far, but has always been competitive. He has never dropped out of the top three, which is a positive sign and his team will be hoping that he maintains such consistency.
The Mahmood Al Zarooni’s trainee debuted in September 2011 and took part in three events that year. He finished third in the first two whereas ended up second in the third one to end the season on a positive note.
Things started positively for the young runner in 2012, as he secured a couple of back-to-back victories at the start and followed that up with his maiden victory. He will be partnered by jockey, Mickael Barzalona, who guided him to his first ever victory
in the sport.
