2024 Westow Stakes Tips
Big Evs could be the banker bet at York Racecourse on Thursday, with the horse having six other runners for company. Some think that his only viable opponent is Kylian, with the rest of the field all trading at bigger prices. The Michael Appleby-trained runner has already claimed some notable victories during his career and this could be the latest one.
There was a victory at Santa Anita in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint when the horse was able to oblige over five furlongs to land a massive cash prize. That came after a success at Doncaster in the Flying Childers Stakes where the horse was able to land a three length triumph after a disappointing display in the Nunthorpe Stakes at York.
Kylian is trained by Archie Watson and returns to the track after a long absence, with the horse having finished fifth in that Doncaster race which was won by Big Evs. That came after finishing sixth out of ten runners at York, with the horse sent off as the 9/4 favourite in the Gimcrack Stakes but unable to make a big impression.
Big Evs and Kylian met at Goodwood last summer when battling it out in the Molecomb Stakes over five furlongs, with the former able to claim a victory after making a quick start. It’s clear that he’s the one to beat here, with Mon Na Slieve next in the betting although there’s a big jump in price after the first two in the market.
