Skybet Convivial Maiden Stakes 2011
The Convivial Maiden Stakes for 2011 is sponsored by Sky bet it is a 7 furlong race for the horses who struggle to get the mile trip and it is as always set to be a competitive renewal. As it is a maiden race it will of course feature only horse that are yet to secure a win on the race course, this means it can be a difficult race for punters but at the same time there is plenty of value on offer in the market at the Ebor Meeting.
Sir Henry Cecil has had a good week so far and he saddles the exciting Thomas Chippendale in this one, he is yet to have a run on course but is expected to go close on his debut today.
