Harness Racing odds: Sensational Gabby Favourite For Stratton Cup
October 16th, 2014 by Pom de TurfFriday night will see yet another chance for classy mare Sensational Gabby to showcase her talent, when she competes in a Stratton Cup that will also give her reinsman Chris Lewis a chance to pick up victory in the race for an impressive seventh time. The Racing odds for Friday will show you that the bookies have it as Sensational Gabby’s race to lose, though she will face competition from the in-form Famous Alchemist.
Sensational Gabby gets the coveted inside barrier in Friday night’s Stratton Cup, with Famous Alchemist in Barrier Two and hoping to avoid a repeat of her defeat in the Members Sprint last week. In that race, Sensational Gabby made the most of that favourable barrier draw to set a good pace that saw her home by a number of lengths, and the suspicion is that the Stratton Cup could follow a similar pattern.
A win for Sensational Gabby will see her as just the tenth Pacer to claim the Members Sprint and the Stratton Cup in the same year – a gold star on the CV that you’d have to say she more than deserves. There just aren’t that many mares on the Members Sprint honours roll, either, and that gives you an idea of just how talented Sensational Gabby is. The team behind Famous Alchemist will be hoping that they can overturn those Racing odds and spoil the party, of course, and it could just be that the extra distance suits their runner. It looks to be a great race in store!
