13 maggio: York e Hereford
Inviato: 13/05/2003 - 09:04
YORK
* Needwood Blade has been in fine form this year and bids for a hat-trick in the Duke of York Stakes at 3.00.
* Echoes in Eternity, an impressive winner of a Newmarket maiden last year, makes her first appearance for Godolphin in the Musidora Stakes at 2.30.
* Impressive Newmarket winner New Seeker runs in the handicap at 2.00.
Left-handed York is a splendid track, quite flat throughout with a run-in of nearly five furlongs. It bestows no great favours on any type of horse.
HEREFORD
* Rocket Radar bids to win the hunter chase at 4.55 for the second successive year.
* Henrietta Knight, who has a 29% strike rate at the course, saddles Jefertiti in the maiden chase at 2.15.
* Court Shareef, a useful stayer on the Flat, makes his second appearance of the season over hurdles in the novices' event at 1.45.
Hereford's right-handed circuit of about a mile and a half is almost square and has nine fences, of which the first after the winning post has to be taken on a turn. The home turn, which is on falling ground, is pretty sharp but the other bends are easy. The fences are fairly stiff.
In bocca al lupo! gattos...
