Aljamaaheer set to take on Caspar Netscher at Goodwood ? Horseracing news
Aljamaaheer is set to take on Caspar Netscher in the Group 2 bet365 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in England.
The latter of the two has been out of action for quite some time and it will be interesting to see how he goes in such a tough race on his comeback. Things will certainly not be easy for him, especially if the ground is challenging.
His camp seems pretty much confident though and his trainer David Simcock said, ?Caspar Netscher is set to run at Goodwood. He has settled in well and I couldn't be happier with him. He has proven very straightforward but we haven't rushed him. He was a horse who was let down to become a stallion and the likelihood is that he will improve for the run.?
The four-year-old colt has appeared in a total of 16 races and his performances in them have not been bad at all. Although his strike rate is a touch lower, he is considered to be a terrific performer and can cause plenty of problems for his rivals, especially when the conditions are in his favour.
Overall, he has managed to win five races, which is not a bad record at all. Moreover, he has finished as a runner up on a couple of times whereas secured the third spot on the same number of occasions.
On the other hand, Aljamaaheer has been doing a pretty good job this year. He is fit and has taken part in a couple of extremely important competitions for his camp. He ran twice at Ascot this season and made his camp proud on both occasions. He finished as a runner up once, but came back to take the top spot again.
Looking at the records of both stallions, it seems that the competition amongst them will be a close one, but the ground conditions will play a crucial role.
Clerk of the course Seamus Buckley claimed, ?We have been dry since 11am yesterday and I am very happy with the condition of the course. Glorious Goodwood is a long week and it is the aim to start the meeting on goodish ground.?
All of the horseracing fans at Goodwood will be looking forward to an exciting competition between some high ranked stallions.
