2025 Futurity Trophy Stakes Betting Tips
Benvenuto Cellini is a quality operator who might be head and shoulders above the other runners in the Futurity Trophy Stakes. Aidan O’Brien has seen his runner oblige at Leopardstown and Killarney in the previous two encounters, with the former coming in the Champions Juvenile Stakes. The 1/2 favourite was a comfortable five-length winner on 13 September.
Previously to this, there was a maiden victory over a mile at Killarney. That came after an encouraging effort over seven furlongs at the Curragh. Perhaps this will be a tougher test and there’s been plenty to like about Hawk Mountain who is another O’Brien-trained runner. This horse also has successive victories under his belt.
All three of the two-year-olds performances have come at the Curragh. There was plenty to like about the horse’s effort in the Beresford Stakes over a mile. The 5/4 favourite was able to win by over three lengths, with that coming after obliging as the odds-on market leader in a maiden encounter. This horse looks like a good each-way prospect.
Item has been able to secure successive wins and the first of these victories came on the all-weather at Kempton at the beginning of September. The horse then lined up as the 4/6 favourite in a novice stakes race before obliging with the honours. Cape Orator can’t be discounted considering his latest effort which was a victory at Longchamp.
2024 Futurity Trophy Stakes Tips
We’re looking forward to a competitive Group One encounter on Saturday, with the William Hill Futurity Stakes providing customers with plenty of betting options for an encounter over one mile. Wimbledon Hawkeye beat six rivals in his last outing, claiming a victory by one and a half lengths in the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes at the end of September.
Delacroix has had two first place and two second placed finishes this season, with Aidan O’Brien training a two-year-old who claimed a victory at Newmarket in mid-October over a mile. Sent off as the 15/8 favourite, the horse was able to triumph by a neck in the Emirates Autumn Stakes and there was previously a maiden victory at the Curragh.
There’s plenty to say about Detain who has earned back-to-back victories, with John & Thady Gosden training a runner who has secured triumphs on the all-weather at Kempton Park. The latest win was as a short priced favourite over seven furlongs, coming after a novice stakes victory in August.
Hotazhell merits respect for his achievements as a two-year-old this term, with the latest victory coming against four other rivals at The Curragh as the 2/1 joint-favourite at the end of September. Previously to this, there was a second placed finish in the Coolmore Stud Wootton Bassett Irish EBF Futurity Stakes.
2023 Futurity Trophy Stakes Tips
Diego Velazquez has scored at the Curragh and Leopardstown already this season, with Aidan O’Brien saddling a horse that began his career with a victory in the Bord Na Mona Recycling Irish EBF Maiden. Maybe it was no surprise that the runner was able to score as the 2/5 favourite, although there was a further success in a Juvenile Stakes race at Leopardstown.
Ancient Wisdom looks to have similarly solid credentials, with the horse able to achieve three victories in a short career to date. The latest performance saw the runner oblige in the Emirates Autumn Stakes, with the two-year-old scoring by nearly four lengths. Previously to this, the horse could only finish third in the Pat Eddery Stakes over seven furlongs.
Dancing Gemini could be worth considering as a bet to nothing from an each-way point-of-view, with the horse able to oblige in the Betfred Flying Scotsman Stakes. Sent off at odds of 5/1, the Roger Teal-trained runner claimed a comfortable win. This came after a Maiden Stakes win at Newbury in the middle of August.
Beyond the front three in the betting, it would be a surprise if we saw another horse claim a victory, although Capulet and God’s Window are trading at around the 10/1 mark at the time of writing. The former was third in the Juddmonte Royal Lodge Stakes when sent off as the 7/4 favourite, while the latter won on his debut at Doncaster.
