Harness Racing Odds: Webster Targets Second Kilmore Win
October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIn his bid to claim a second Kilmore Pacing Cup win and collect another fine-looking trophy, trainer Geoff Webster will be looking to a pair of prospects who are featuring strongly in the Racing odds for Sunday’s contest: Flaming Flutter and Cut For An Ace.
Flaming Flutter is probably the safer bet of the two, but only because we haven’t seen all that much of Cut For An Ace, and because Flaming Flutter comes into the weekend on the back of three wins from three standing starts. That suggests that Flaming Flutter will aim to take a commanding position right from the start of the race, and Webster thinks he has the quality to compete: ‘he’s going very well. This is a step up in grade but with the right run he’s right in with a chance. He’s always been against the best horses through his career so he’s definitely up to the class.’
He will have to be on his best form to hold off a classy field on the night, of course – one that includes Guaranteed and Maximan, the two horses dominating the betting and with some of the shortest of the Racing odds we’ve seen. It’s also a field that includes the surprise package in the form of Flaming Flutter’s own stablemate Cut For An Ace, who is a fairly unknown commodity, but one that Webster sounds like he has in mind for great things: ‘it’s a big step up (in class) for Cut For An Ace but he ran second one night to Maximan and he seems to like stand-starts.’ He’ll have to like them very much to compete for the win at the weekend, but it should make for a great race if he can!
