Glorious Goodwood 2021: Horses to Watch and Trainer Expectations
The Glorious Goodwood Festival is set to captivate horse racing enthusiasts once again, with several intriguing contenders preparing for the much-anticipated races. Here's a sneak peek at some of the notable horses and the expectations of their trainers.
British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes
Island Bear, trained by Jamie Insole, has caught the eye with two impressive performances. The three-year-old will be wearing cheekpieces for the first time in the British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes and is expected to run very well. Jamie Insole is confident about Island Bear's chances, stating that he will run well in the race. Island Bear's form at Salisbury has proven to be strong, with the winner of the race going on to finish fourth in the Group 2 Vintage Stakes this week.
Gary Moore, joint-trainer of My Old Mate, is treating his horse's debut as a fact-finding mission. Meanwhile, Island Bear has a nice draw for the race.
Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap
Ben Hutton, in his tip, suggests Gladius as a strong contender in the Coral Golden Rewards Shaker Handicap, with Indalo as the second choice. Roger Varian, trainer of Indalo, plans to back up Indalo quickly after his win at Sandown last week. David Menuisier, trainer of Toimy Son, believes Toimy Son, a Goodwood specialist, has a chance in the race despite his poor season so far. Richard Hannon, trainer of Boyfriend and Linwood, expects Boyfriend to perform well in the race, as he has won on good and soft ground and performed well at Goodwood last year.
The Stewards' Cup
The Stewards' Cup, the final-day highlight of Glorious Goodwood, is expected to be a thrilling race. Last time, Two Tribes won the Stewards' Cup after being backed into 11-2 from 20-1 overnight.
Other Notable Contenders
Alpha Crucis, trained by Gary Moore, is another horse to watch. Moore is hopeful about Alpha Crucis' performance, but prefers the ground not to dry out too much. Phantom Watch, trained by Hugo Palmer, is expected to improve at seven furlongs. Corinth, owned by Juddmonte, ran a good race first time out at Sandown. Linwood, trained by Richard Hannon, is a talented colt who's been off the track for a while but is expected to have bright days ahead. Hugo Palmer, trainer of Lion Of Alba and Phantom Watch, is optimistic about Lion Of Alba's performance, as he's come on from his debut.
