Verdict

Henry de Bromhead has already tasted success with a novice here this autumn and his KING'S BUCKS may well become another. He shaped well sent chasing after 6 months off when second at Galway 18 days ago and with the sharp test at this trip expected to hold no fears, he could be the answer. Intosomethinggood may emerge next best, ahead of Kingston Narcissus who has stamina to prove up in trip.

Upcoming Races

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Main Track Only

A horse entered for main track only (MTO) is one hoping the weather forecast or track conditions will move the race off the turf course and onto the main track. They are scratched the morning of the race if the conditions stay dry.

Blinkers

A hood worn on a horse’s head to limit side vision, which can improve concentration. Blinkers are added or removed to relax a horse or give it more focus.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.
