In order to drive up revenue in a difficult economic climate, the MTC returned to the charge with its formula of weekend races. A total of 16 trials await the public-punter on Saturday and Sunday. Including one in which we find the Horse of the Year in 2012, namely Ice Axe.
The champion team Maingard has participated in only two races so far, both of which ended in failure. But in his defense, it should be noted that Ice Axe was aligned in short sprints, then he likes tests medium distances. This Saturday, on the occasion of the 22nd day, it will be aligned on 1600. While it is an improvement over its first two races of the season, but he still has a huge room for improvement.
His main opponent Saturday will be the handicap. With 61kg, he will have to work harder to counter opponents much less loaded. Moreover, Geroudis jockeys and Orffer have each sentenced this morning one week suspension for causing interference in the day last week.
