Racing Odds: Paceman In Slippers
February 13th, 2015 by Pom de TurfHe’s already caught the eye of a good number of punters and pundits here in Australia, and you’ll certainly be seeing his name in amongst the Racing odds we’ve got for you at the end of the link there. Talented colt Paceman is shaping up to be a real prospect, and you will get the chance to see him in action on February 21st, when he kicks off his 2015 Autumn campaign at Rosehill, in the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes over 1100m.
It was an impressive barrier trial back in October that first drew attention to Paceman, and you get the feeling that he’s been building up to this Autumn Campaign since the moments immediately after that race. Certainly he was straight back to the spelling paddock, and he’s been carefully prepared for the Silver Slipper in a couple of weekends’ time. Beyond that, you would think that trainer Paul Snowden will want a matching slipper for his talented prospect, but this one in gold – the Golden Slipper on March 21st is the most likely target for Paceman, especially if things go well at Rosehill. Snowden sees no reason why they shouldn’t: ‘he is super. He did his main work this time in on Thursday and Hughie Bowman rode him and he gave him a fantastic feel. He really likes him and what he did was effortless. He has still got to improve, he has only won one race at the moment, and he needs to build on that and hopefully we can see that when he steps out.’
So, the inevitable excitement of a trainer who has a prospect on his hands aside, Paceman looks like he could be one to watch. Make sure you’ve got all the Racing odds for the Silver Slipper by clicking the link there – and look out for him, too, in the Golden Slipper in March: he’s at odds of $13.00 at the moment, but there’s plenty of time for that to change…
