Sportingbet Acomb Stakes Betting 2011
The Sportingbet Acomb Stakes is the second race on the card for day 1 of the 2011 York Ebor Festival and it promises to be a cracking renewal, it is a group 3 race over the 7f trip so should attract a good standard of entries as always. It is a race for the horses aged 2 so we often see some potential stars of the future here with some top juveniles racing just under a mile.
One that could run a big race today is Archbishop who will take his chance for Brian Meehan and Martin Dwyer, he has one win from his only start and could be a progressive type for connections.
