The £130,000 Betfred Mile,
the feature race on day four of Glorious Goodwood, Friday, August 2, has
attracted 75 entries, details of which are released today, together with
betting from the sponsor.
Spa's Dancer was purchased for 25,000
guineas by James Eustace in October and has already shown to be a shrewd
investment by the Newmarket trainer.
After going down by a
short head in a mile handicap at Sandown in April, the six-year-old returned to
the Esher course to post a clear-cut victory in a similar contest on May 30.
The son of Danehill
Dancer, a 25/1 chance with Betfred, failed to cope with good to firm ground on
his most recent start in the Royal Hunt Cup on June 19, when he finished down
the field.
Eustace revealed:
"Spa's Dancer is a possible runner in the Betfred Mile. He is entered to
run at Sandown this weekend but will only do so if the rain changes the ground.
"I probably should
have taken him out of the Royal Hunt Cup because the going was too fast for him
but we were there and it was Royal Ascot, so we ran.
"He seems to love
Sandown but I think that he might quite like Goodwood. I am not convinced that
he enjoys racing on a straight mile on any ground but a mile around Goodwood
could be ideal for him.
"His win at Sandown
was well up there with the best of his form and, even as a six-year-old, he has
still got it.
"He's a great horse
to have in the yard and looks a cheap acquisition now, although I'm probably
the only person who is praying for a wet summer!"
Heading the market for the
heritage handicap at 10/1 with Betfred are Nine Realms (William Haggas),
a lightly-raced four-year-old who was an impressive maiden winner at Leicester
on May 28, and Stirring Ballad (Andrew Balding), a winner (Tatler
Handicap) at Glorious Goodwood last year who was unlucky in running when down
the field in the Royal Hunt Cup.
Belgian Bill (George Baker) recorded
the biggest victory of his career in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last
time and is 12/1 co-second favourite with Betfred, along with Cape Peron
(Henry Candy), David Livingston (Mike de Kock), Field Of Dream (Jamie
Osborne), Wentworth (Richard Hannon) and Windhoek (Mark
Johnston).
Boom And Bust (Marcus Tregoning, 16/1)
is a regular in the Betfred Mile, winning the valuable handicap under
Goodwood's 2013 racing ambassador, Hayley Turner, in 2011 and finishing a close
fourth last year.
Weights for the Betfred
Mile, which has a safety limit of 20 runners, will be revealed on Wednesday,
July 10.
Betfred spokesman Andrew
Griffiths said: "This year's Betfred Mile has the potential to be the
hottest handicap of the season.
"The unexposed Nine
Realms is sure to be popular, but there will be plenty of punters looking to
recover their losses on Stirring Ballad after her luckless run at Royal
Ascot."
