2010 Totesport Trophy Hurdle
Shad
February 7, 2010
The 2010 Totesport Trophy Hurdle will be run on February 13th at Newbury. Bet365 has antepost odds.
The Totesport Trophy Hurdle is a handicap race run over 2 miles and 110 yards, with 8 hurdles. Despite its Grade 3 status, two winners of the Totesport Trophy Hurdle have gone on to win the prestigious Champions’ Hurdle in the following month.
At Bet365, the favorites for this year’s race are Harry Tricker and Spirit River at +700. Harry Tricker is having his best season in years, while Spirit River is only in his second year of racing with a promising record of 2 hurdle wins in 4 starts. Neither horse is all that reliable, however, with Harry Tricker having taken as many seconds and thirds as he has hurdles victories, and Spirit River coming fifth as often as coming first.
Next in the odds at Bet365 is Ronaldo Des Mottes at +800. This horse is a bit of a mystery, with many victories and a few seconds, but also placing 14th on two recent occasions. With such an unusual record, it’s hard to put much confidence in Ronaldo.
At +1000 in the Bet365 odds are Get Me Out of Here and Mamlook. Get Me Out of Here is currently unbeaten in 4 races. However, this is the first time he’ll be running in a graded race. Mamlook is more experienced and this has been a very good season for the Irish horse, with a win and two second places. The Totesport Trophy Hurdle will be a step back up in competition for him, but the potential for a Mamlook win is strong.
