Race debut for Harry Redknapp's new recruit at Stratford; Danny Tudhope aims to maintain a perfect track record
News Article: Racing Preview for the Weekend
In an exciting weekend of horse racing, several notable contenders are set to make their mark in various events across the UK.
At Stratford, Way Maker, the only runner with prior racing experience in the 2m1⁄2f trip, will compete in the closing bumper (5.35). Having had a successful debut at Bangor last month, beating Elusive Power by 11 lengths, Way Maker will face six unraced rivals, including debutants from the yards of Fergal O'Brien, Joe Tizzard, and Christian Williams.
Meanwhile, at Ayr, The Sapphire Princess, a three-year-old daughter of Kingman, will make her first appearance for new owner Rebecca Hillen in the opening 6f fillies' maiden. Although detailed information about Sapphire Princess’ racing record or trainer Ollie Sangster could not be found in the provided search results, this will be Sangster's first runner for Hillen. Sapphire Princess has previous racing experience at Cork and Fairyhouse.
Irish Dancer, a five-year-old horse, has been in excellent form, winning four of its last eight races and finishing in the first two on its last six outings. Its run of good form began with success over the same track and trip as the 5f handicap at Catterick in May. Declan Carroll, the trainer of Irish Dancer, expressed optimism about the horse's chances, despite the race being a tougher grade than previous ones this season.
In another interesting development, Angel Numbers seeks to make a winning handicap debut in the 5f nursery (6.00) at Windsor. The filly, trained by Jamie Insole, won on her debut at Chepstow and finished fifth in the Alice Keppel Fillies' Conditions Stakes at Goodwood. Insole believes the filly will appreciate quicker ground at Windsor. Angel Numbers takes on eight rivals as she tries to build on her early promise.
Lastly, Jannas Journey, a horse in the care of a trainer, has won its last four starts under the jockey and aims to retain their 100% record in the 7f handicap at Ayr.
As always, the races promise to be thrilling, and we look forward to seeing these horses in action.
In the racing preview for the weekend, Way Maker, a notable contender, will compete in a bumper race at Stratford, having made a successful debut in horse-racing recently. Meanwhile, The Sapphire Princess, with racing experience at Cork and Fairyhouse, will make her first appearance for new owner Rebecca Hillen in a fillies' maiden race at Ayr.
