Old Borough Cup Betting Odds

There could be as many as seventeen runners lining up for the Old Borough Cup. Many of the horses are trading at similar odds, with The Reverend having won in a previous outing. The four-year-old could be in competition with Shadow Dance despite the latter’s sketchy form this term. Caballo De Mar has no less than four victories this term and could go well.

Dramatic Star was sixth in a previous showing this season although there was a victory on the all-weather at the end of the previous campaign. Dancing In Paris is an experienced five-year-old although Paddy The Squire has shown deadlier form. Iain Jardine has registered successive victories and the five-year-old can come through with a win.

The Reverend was an impressive winner last time out. The four-year-old was able to score at Ripon in July when obliging as the 4/7 favourite. Previously to this, there was a fifth-placed finish out of twelve horses at York in the middle of May. That was in the competitive Jorvik Ebor Handicap although it came after a long break.

Shadow Dance needs to find improvement after a couple of runs, with Roger Varian training a horse who was eleventh out of twenty-two runners at York last time out. That came after previously recording a midfield effort when landing ninth out of eighteen at Goodwood. Last season, there was a victory at York before finishing third out of eight at Doncaster.

Caballo De Mar has put together a string of impressive performances this season and there could be more to come. George Scott trains a runner who was second out of sixteen at Royal Ascot in the Copper Horse Stakes. That was over a mile and six furlongs, with that coming after a solid performance over two miles at Haydock Park.

Dramatic Star was sixth on his seasonal debut when the four-year-old performed well in a field of ten runners at Ascot. That came after an October success on the all-weather at Newcastle, with Paddy In The Squire catching the eye after consecutive wins. The five-year-old was able to score at Hamiton last time out after winning at Thirsk.

There are seventeen runners who are participating in the Old Borough Cup Handicap, with Naqeeb going for trainer William Haggas. The horse has the highest rating out of any race and the three-year-old could be favourably weighted and the racing betting odds mean that you can have a slice of the action from an each-way point-of-view.

Aztec Empire won on his first outing this season but has failed to land a victory in any of the previous five renewals. Andrew Balding will hope that the barren run ends when his charge lines up here, with the four-year-old second at York last time out. Interestingly, the horse that won this race was Forza Orta who runs at a big price here.

There was plenty to like about the win in the Sky Bet Stayers Handicap, with the horse beating Aztec Empire by a neck. Previously, the same runner finished second in a handicap race at Hamilton, with Caius Chorister having finished sixth out of twenty-two runners and the horse was sent off at 22/1 on that occasion.

Lordship is a talented three-year-old who could also go well and the runner finished fourth in the Melrose Handicap over one mile and six furlongs at York Racecourse. Previously to this, there were wins at Haydock and Yarmouth, with the former victory coming in the bet365 Handicap before a handicap win in Norfolk.

The Old Borough Cup is a horse race that takes place at Haydock Park on an annual basis. The encounter takes place every September and it’s a National Hunt race which is a class two handicap.

Island Brave was the 2022 Old Borough Cup winner, with this being the only eight-year-old winner in the past ten years. Previously to this, we saw two seven-year-old winners land a victory, with Island Brave obliging in 2021 before retaining his crown. There was also Euchen Glen who was able to oblige at the same age in 2020.

Trainer Mark Johnston has been able to win this Haydock betting race on four occasions, with The Persuader helping the Scottish handler break his duck in 2003. Peppertree Lane then helped him achieve a second success three years later before Yes Mr President (2009) and Sir Graham Wade (2011) was able to get the jobs done.
