This year’s final looks superb and the culmination of a brilliant competition. “The Steel City Cup, backed for the first time this year by BresBet, has a tremendous history and is our main four-bend competition. They are a local firm with strong links to the track, of course, and have already shown great support to us here at Owlerton Stadium. “We are welcoming a new sponsor in BresBet, too.
We’ve got the three finals plus supporting opens and some real quality on show – especially in the main event. Saturday promises to be Sheffield’s biggest night of the year on the track given the showpiece Category One competition final is supported by two other finals – for the BresBet British Bred Maiden and Brinkleys Poet At Stud Young Guns.Īndrew Mascarenhas, director of racing at Owlerton Stadium, said: “It really should be a fantastic night’s racing. The Hutton kennel then completed a double in the second semi-final as the Select Stakes champion also paced up well into the first bend and again raced away to score readily by two and a quarter lengths from the staying-on Balterio in 28.72sec (+20).Īngela Harrison’s Potent Touch and Headford Flash (Kevin Hutton) enjoyed a tremendous battle in the third semi-final before the former just edged out his nearest rival by a short-head in 28.90sec to grab a place in the decider along with Hutton’s third finalist. Racing in the first semi, the recent Birmingham Cup finalist was soon in charge off a fastest 4.27sec and never troubled thereafter as he raced away to win by almost five lengths from Stuart Buckland’s Cascade King in 28.66sec (+20). FOREST GOLD heads into Saturday’s final of the BresBet Steel City Cup at Sheffield as not just the fastest semi-final victor but one of three Kevin Hutton-trained runners in the weekend’s £8,000-to-the-winner decider over 500m.
