Shergar Cup Day ends with the Shergar Cup Mile, where the winning team and rider could be determined by a thrilling contest. Ryan Moore is scheduled to ride OZAT, a horse trained by Ian Williams. OZAT demonstrated impressive potential last week during the competitive Goodwood Golden Mile, where he showed strong speed and demeanor despite facing interference and ending up 15th due to the obstruction.
He has since lost two pounds in weight and appears to be well cared for. OZAT has proven himself in Ascot as well, finishing well in the Royal Hunt Cup earlier this year. However, two-time runner-up EBT'S GUARD, who finished ahead of OZAT in the Goodwood Golden Mile, and Christophe Lemaire's mount BEAR'S GUARD, who had consistent success in competitive mile handicaps, are also worth considering for the Quinella bet.
Meanwhile, at the Shergar Cup Stayers Handicap held earlier, MOUNTAIN ROAD, a versatile seven-year-old, is expected to make a strong showing. Known for his ability to either sprint from the front or make a bold move from the back, he won at Thirsk last time out and could be a serious contender with Japanese legend Yutaka Take at the helm.
For a potential big payout, consider betting on Ian Williams' DANCING IN PARIS and MARNIER together in a World Pool Quinella alongside MOUNTAIN ROAD.
