Harness Racing Odds: Caldow Looks To Steer Abettorpunt To Victory
October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe career of reinsman John Caldow makes for some impressive reading. Without wanting to go into too much detail, he has had his fair share of success (including 18 straight century seasons!), and he has a wealth of experience to draw on. That experience will be a factor in the Racing odds you’re seeing at the other end of that link there for this weekend, when Caldow heads to the Queensland Pacing Championship to try to steer Abettorpunt to victory.
But it looks like he’ll need every bit of the experience he has earned over a long, storied career – the barrier draw could have been kinder to Abettorpunt, and Avonnova will carry some good form into the race, meaning he’ll be tough to beat. But Caldow has pretty much seen it all before, and he’s not going to be fazed by either a barrier draw or another horse: ‘the draw is not that bad really; I prefer to be there rather than in six or seven or even the inside of the second-line so I’m comfortable with the draw. He (Abettorpunt went super last week all things considered; that was only his second run back this campaign and the time was sensational so he’s on the right track. I liked the way he finished off the final 100m last week, he was spent at the line but he never stopped trying. The leader finished off in 54.4 seconds and my guy kept fighting to the very end, hopefully we can get more pressure mid-race this week. Avonnova is the horse to beat again this week; it was my first opportunity to have a good look at him and he’s got power written all over him, he’s an impressive looking individual.’
