One of the great racing days of the year will take place at the ‘Home of Racing’ this Saturday. Newmarket Champions Day, as it does every year will host no fewer than six Group races plus the avidly followed and famous Cesarewitch Handicap.
Apart from the Cesarewitch, the real quality feature of the day is the Group One Champion Stakes, which is the third race of the day which looks like bringing together the Irish Derby winner Fame And Glory and the Epsom and Irish Oaks winner, Sariska. It is Fame And Glory however, who is most feared by the bookmakers, who have him as the 6/4 favourite, while Sariska is 9/2 best priced with Paddy Power Online Bookmaker.
This race has been won by some of the greats of horse racing, including the incomparable, Brigadier Gerrard, who won the race twice in both 1971 and 1972. Other famous winners include the great, Sir Ivor and In The Groove. Pebbles was on e of the great fillies to have won, proving to Sariska fans at least, that fillies of the right calibre can take on and beat the colts.
The Cesarewitch Betting, Cesarewitch Betting is always a great race for punters to have a bet and this year will be no exception as a big field will travel over the border of two counties before the winner will be revealed. The race carries one of the biggest prizes in handicap racing hence why it attracts top flat trainers as well as their poorer cousins from the National Hunt. Favourite for the race is the David Simcock trained, Darley Sun.
The other Group One race on the card is the Dewhurst Stakes for two year olds. This race often throws up the a future Classic winner or two the latest being, New Approach, who won this race in 2007, before going on to win the Epsom Derby the following year. Other famous winners include, Rock Of Gibraltar, Mill Reef and Nijinsky. Dewhurst favourite is the Jim Bolger trained, Chabal, with the unbeaten Arcano next and the highly regarded Aidan O’Brien trained, Steinbeck close behind.
