The horse racing NAP of the Day for Sunday, 8 May, is STONE AGE. He contests the sixth race over in Ireland at Leopardstown in the Derby Trial Stakes over 1m2f (4.35). AP O’Brien’s horse looks well worth backing with Ryan Moore taking the reigns at sweet 11/8 odds.
Trained over in Ireland, Stone Age is handled by horse racing trainer AP O’Brien, now that who is highly regarded as one of the best in the business. He boasts some decent form with a win and three second place finishes in his last five starts. Stone Age is thus our horse racing NAP today and here’s why to back him…
Why will horse racing NAP of the Day Stone Age win?
Rated officially at 109, this 3-year-old colt has shown some real promise in his short yet successful horse racing career so far. Last time out, he won impressively at Navan by a staggering nine lengths, leaving his fellow horses for dust and claiming his maiden victory on the flat turf.
This run was just slightly over a month ago, so Stone Age comes to Leopardstown relatively fresh but still active and in good form. He wasn’t overly fancied on UK betting sites in his last run of 2021, priced as an outsider at 10/1 but finishing in second place in what was a promising gallop over in France at Saint-Cloud.
Today’s horse racing NAP highest rated colt off achievable mark
A mark of 109 doesn’t look beyond him by any means, running off a steady 9st 5lbs which is up a drop of three pounds from his last run at Navan. The handicappers may have missed a trick here.
Horse and jockey have ran as a pair before so this new partnership could continue to be a successful one as it was indeed today’s jockey, Ryan Moore, who was in the saddle for that maiden victory at the end of March. Horse racing betting sites may underestimate him as he is still quite inexperienced, despite winning £6000 in prize money already.
This will be Stone Age’s third run over the ten furlong distance in a row, and he has looked supremely comfortable on the two previous outings. As Stone Age has ran over various distances and won at a canter last time out, he just had to be our horse racing NAP this Sunday. A £10 each way punt on him with 888Sport will return £23.75 if he wins. New customers also qualify for £40 in bonuses with this wager.
