THE TRAINING COURSES AVAILABLE AT SCOTTISHRACINGACADEMY.CO.UK HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 6) (DIV II)
RACE DESCRIPTION
This is a one-mile handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 55. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is. This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage. FOR FOUR YRS OLD AND UPWARDS NUMBER OF DECLARED RUNNERS 9
Hamilton Park Executive will present a memento to the winning owner. In addition, they will present a cash prize to the person in charge of the horse judged to be the best turned out in this race. Owners Prize Money. Winner £1835; Second £917; Third £459; Fourth £251; Fifth £240; Sixth £240; Seventh £240; Eighth £240. (Penalty Value £2322)
RACE STATISTICS

BETTING FORECAST: 11-4 Mac Ailey (GB), 11-2 Tefnut (USA), Rain Cap (GB), 13-2 Deconso (GB), 8-1 Smart Connection (IRE), 10-1 Selecto (GB), 11-1 Lucky Violet (IRE), 25-1 Sienna Dream (GB), 28-1 Rail Dancer (GB) RACE SUMMARY: This looks wide open and it may pay to take a chance on TEFNUT. She’s been below the pick of her form as a 3-y-o in a trio of starts this term but her mark has eased and it would come as no surprise to see a better showing back down in trip now. Mac Ailey arrives in good form, and along with Smart Connection, heads up the dangers. 1-2-3: 1.TEFNUT (USA) 2.MAC AILEY 3.SMART CONNECTION (IRE)
