Heritage Handicap Sprint Stakes

Symphony Group Heritage Handicap Odds - Secret Asset Wins

The first race on the card of the 2011 York Ebor Festival is this excellent Symphony Group Heritage Handicap which will be an exciting sprint race over the 5f trip on the Knavesmire. We have a good prize pot on offer here and all of the trainers will be wanting to start such as important week with a win in this race, as with all of these sprint races we will be seeing trainer Dandy Nicholls with one or two nice entries.

it loks a tight race according to the betting with the likes of Ritual and Ancient Cross perhaps the ones to beat based on their form so far this season.
