Almada Mile Handicap (Class 2

THE STAY AT HAMPTON BY HILTON ALMADA MILE HANDICAP STAKES (CLASS 2) (FOR THE WATSON MEMORIAL CUP)

RACE DESCRIPTION

This is a one mile handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 81 to 100. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb.

BETTING FORECAST: 9-2 Fame And Acclaim (IRE), 5-1 Sip And Smile (IRE), 6-1 Ghaly (GB), 7-1 Empirestateofmind (IRE), 17-2 Bringitonboris (USA), 10-1 Cockalorum (IRE), 12-1 Summa Peto (USA), 16-1 Redarna (GB), Hortzadar (GB), 18-1 Austrian Theory (IRE) RACE SUMMARY: SIP AND SMILE is a 3-y-o who has been shaping up well this season and promises to be suited by this slightly longer trip, so he’s an appealing candidate. Recent Haydock scorer Fame And Acclaim can give another good account, while Ghaly requires a close look in the betting returning from a long absence. 1-2-3: 1.SIP AND SMILE (IRE) 2.FAME AND ACCLAIM (IRE) 3.GHALY STEWARDS NOTE: REDARNA: Following its run on 12/5/2022 it was reported that the horse hung left handed.
