I know some of you are racing professionals but crikey – the idea that everyone thinks they know the derby winner (in a tricky derby imo) has all the hallmarks of mug gamblers, i.e. "i am sure I know the winner" (before the race)!
Or confident fools. Not sure if that’s a synonym or not though.

Every race is a guess. It is just a case of how good you are at guessing…

The dominance of one stable has made it a much less appealing betting medium. I think thats the real point isnt it?

IMO the bookies are doing this to attract money for Rip Van Hype. He’s won them big money twice now and given his iffy-looking pedigree he can win them bundles yet again.
