Shergar Cup Dash Preview, Trends & Analysis
The class two Shergar Cup Dash is now the third race of the Shergar Cup meeting after originally being the opener, it is open to runners who are aged three or older and is run over a distance of five furlongs.
When looking over the past 15 renewals, a time of 58.53 was set by Desert Law in 2012, which is the quickest time over that period, the runner was trained by Andrew Balding and ridden by Cristian Demuro. The slowest winning time was set in 2021 when Tis Marvellous won in a time of 1:01.93, booked to ride was Kevin Stott on this Clive Cox trained runner.
How competitive is the Shergar Cup Dash market? When looking at the over-rounds for the last 15 renewals, the most competitive market was in 2009 when the race had an over-round of 110%. The race in 2018 was a race which was most in the bookie's favour with an over-round of 120%, whilst on average over the last 15 renewals of the Shergar Cup Dash, the over-round has been 117% which means the bookie expects to pay out £100 for every £117 which is bet.
