This Saturday sprinters take center stage with the Betfair Sprint Cup being staged at Haydock. A Group 1 contest, it is the biggest flat annually staged at the Lancashire track. One of just four Group 1 sprints open to horses aged three and older. The six-furlong race has been won by some of the sport’s all-time greats.

Jockey Tom Marquand celebrates Starman’s victory in the July Cup at Newmarket. Can the outstanding sprinter win a second Group 1 at Haydock Park on Saturday?

The late 1980s and early 1990s was a particularly memorable era for the race. The list of previous winners includes Danehill, who would go on to become the most successful sire of all time. Another previous Sprint Cup winner was Dayjur, the horse who famously jumped a shadow at Belmont Park when the 1990 Breeders’ Cup Sprint was at his mercy. 1992 Betfair Sprint Cup winner Sheikh Albadou, is the only European-trained winner of that famous American race to date.

Starman Smashed in the Betting

This year’s big-race favorite is Starman. An impressive winner of the Group 1 July Cup when last seen in domestic action, the four-year-old also won a Group 2 on his seasonal debut at York in May.

The Ed Walker trained horse was beaten in French Group 1 on his latest start but there were mitigating circumstances. The ground was soft and of the first five finishers, he was the only horse that raced prominently from the outset. It would appear the pacesetters set off too quickly.

Officially rated superior to his rivals and with the going described as ‘good’, Starman looks the most obvious winner. Barr Orr, spokesman for Betfair, sponsor of the Sprint Cup agrees. “Starman will surely be difficult to beat on the ground he prefers,” said Betfair’s representative when talking to Online-Casinos.com. “It is very difficult to see either Creative Force or Art Power turning around the form of the July Cup where Starman won with something to spare. He has been heavily backed all week long and is now our even-money favorite from an opening quote of 11/8.”

Will Glitter Collect Gold?

Earlier on the Haydock card, just five runners go to the post for the Group 3 Betfair Double Daily Rewards Superior Mile Stakes. While acknowledging Lord Glitters is the punter’s pick, Orr personally believes the market principle is opposable.

“As an eight-year-old who has been on the go since the start of January, I think he is too short in the betting. With just four rivals this could become a tactical affair and, while he has been contesting Group 1 contests, he really needs genuine gallop to be seen at his best.”

Baaeed Seeking Fifth and Biggest Win in France

Meanwhile, whilst not a Betfair-sponsored contest, Orr could not hide his enthusiasm for Sunday’s Prix du Moulin de Longchamp in France. It is the “race of the year,” he enthused. “Three of this season’s 2000 Guineas winners are in the field. This includes Sky Lantern who went on to win the Falmouth Stakes. Alongside her is Order of Australia who won last year’s Breeders’ Cup Mile.”

Nevertheless, it is Baaeed who the veteran industry betting expert is eager to see in action. “William Haggas’ Baaeed is unbeaten in four starts,” Orr enthusiastically explained. “This Group 1 contest may be a big step up in class and he is meeting some brilliant horses, but so far he has looked like a monster. It’s a race to savor.”

Haggas, who has recently trained his 100th winner of the season – a mark he has breached every year since 2013 – rarely confuses his geese for swans. He is also notorious for not over-facing the horses in his care.

“I’m as excited as you to have a horse of this caliber, but I much prefer for him to do the talking rather than me,” the trainer explained during a recent conversation on Racing TV. “He’s obviously a talented horse because every time I throw him in a better race he does better.” The champion elect racehorse will make a very big statement should he win on Sunday as no less than five of his eight opponents have already won at Group 1 level.
