5 things you didn’t know about Day 2 of the Newmarket July Festival

July 10th, 2013

 

Rizeena Top on Figures

In our opinion we need look no further than Rizeena in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes. Top on our Speed figures when winning at Ascot in the Queen Mary Stakes and the figure is well clear of the opposition.  In fact the speed figure recorded at Sandown was also excellent for a 2yo. Both these SF's are higher than anything else has recorded in this race and the form of the Queen Mary has been franked in style by both Fig Roll and Bye Bye Birdie. Horses having just one run in the last month also fit a solid profile for this race so we feel One Chance could be the main danger and is worth a e/way saver.  

All Maiden Races at the July Festival

Two trainers to follow in the maiden races at the Newmarket July Festival are Richard Hannon who has saddled 43 runners in maidens and won 7 of them, which is 90% above expectations and Saeed Bin Suroor who as won 5 maidens with just 15 runners over the years, which is 42% above expectations. . Today see’s two maiden races :- In the 15:50 Richard Hannon has two runners, Edge and Expert while Saeed Bin Suroor saddles one runner in True Story. In the 16:25 they both have one each, Richard Hannon saddles Gold Medal and Saeed Bin Suroor runs Urban Dance.
