Proud Chieftain confident to register one more Newmarket triumph
The Newmarket racecourse has always been Proud Chieftain’s cup of tea. Some sport fans even say that he has only made for this playfield. This is evident from the fact that he has made some iconic marks over here so far. As the Clifford Lines trained bay
gelding warms up his heels to run the Aqlaam Godolphin Stakes (Listed Race) at this venue, everyone is sure that the veteran runner will be able to bring home the ace title today quite convincingly.
Considering the four-year-old brilliant horse’s epic Newmarket record, the punters have regarded him as the hot favourite candidate for the high-stakes race that will be run over 1 mile and 4 furlongs with the surface bring good.
Thus, Proud Chieftain’s fans have every reason to believe that he will outplay his half a dozen competitors confidently. The victory will earn him £18,714.
Newmarket always welcomes the talented horse with success. He even broke his maiden there. It was July 15, 2011 when he marvellously won the 12-runner event of TurfTV Handicap while being the joint favourite candidate.
In the very next race at the same venue, he again demonstrated a thumping performance to beat Figaro by a neck’s margin. That was the Get £50 Free Play At Meccabingo.com Handicap.
The son of Sleeping Indian out of Skimra went on to complete his hat-trick by winning the 32Red.com Handicap at Kempton. That was a fantastic steak indeed.
The Prima Racing Partnership owned horse extended his momentum to 2012 as well and registered a couple of consecutive runner-up ranks in the month of June.
Once again, he accomplished a tremendous triumph at Newmarket on August 4. Despite being a non-favourite runner, he won Adnams Tally Ho Handicap by a length’s margin.
Proud Chieftain also sealed top spot in his last start at Doncaster. This is a brilliant record that shows the extent of racing stamina he possesses.
Darryll Holland, who rode the gelding well in the last race, is all ready to jump on his back again. So, we must expect a thrilling and exciting clash in today’s marathon. Good luck to Lines’ pupil.
