Weekend Racing from Newmarket, Live on Channel 4, Saturday
October 4, 2008 by Ben Filed under: horse racing
The highlight of Newmarket’s Cambridgeshire meeting takes place at 3:50pm on Saturday when the Cambridgeshire Heritage Handicap gets underway. Despite the huge field being very wide open, Swop has emerged as the clear 13/2 favourite with BGbet. The horse is in superb form, having finished no lower than third in all of its five races to date, with two wins in that time as well.
Swops closest challengers are Yadree, a 10/1 shot with VCbet, and Premier Loco, an 11/1 chance at Pagebet. Yadree is in similar form to the favourite Swop, with two wins in his last five races, and impressive places in the other three. Premier Loco’s recent form has been more erratic with two ninth places and an non finish in three of his last six, although the other three finishes have all been wins.
Last years winning trainer JHM Goodsen has two contenders in this years running, with Tazeez and Virtual both looking to emulate last years winner Pipedreamer, the 5/1 favourite that day. BetWithRed think Virtual has the better chance of the two at 14/1, as Tazeez is considered an outsider at 33/1 at Pagebet. Winning jockey form two years ago Jamie Spencer saddles Prince Kalamoun this year, and he is in the small group behind the three favourites that VCbet think have an outside chance at 12/1.
