Preview & Trifecta - British Champions Sprint Stakes 2017
Harry Angel Aims To Defeat Defender The Tin Man
Harry Angel, ridden as usual by jockey Adam Kirby, is improving all the time, and was simply breathtaking at Haydock. While, The Tin Man defends the title he won 12 months ago at a track at which he excels. Although Caravaggio did not get to race in A$10 Million Everest, he is one of the best sprinters in the world and one to watch out for. The 2016 Haydock winner, the filly Quiet Reflection, representing the in-form stable of Karl Burke, bounced back after an absence in September. She is great form.
Quite a lot of excellent British-trained world-class sprinters will make this a race to watch with bated breath.
