Very uninspiring Derby Market at the moment. The fact city of troy is still at the head of the betting says there isn’t a top horse yet. I was hoping aidan would aim Henry longfellow at Derby but French Derby no doubt following st marks basilica route. We live in hope of a top Derby horse emerging somewhere.
Couteau, he’s been entered in the Derby trial at Leopardstown on Sunday, plus he’s still in the Derby after today’s latest scratching.
I’ve copied you and backed him too.
Yep, Bobby. Pleasantly surprised to see him entered up. He might still hold him back for the Irish Derby but you never know. Watched the Oddschecker podcast today and Gary O’Brien gave him a favourable mention.
Joseph obriens horses in great form. Maybe his year beating his dad. With donnacha having bremen could be a great obrien family battle in the offing.
Seeing how much most of O’briens Colts are improving for the run. I still think City of Troy is the most likely winner here.
Gallantly was beaten at odds on in his seasonal debut but won the maiden well today. He probably ran OK the time before but it still looked like he had taken a step forward for the run.
He looked superb it has to be said. Was touted as a top horse last year and maybe he will be a late developer. Certainly a lovely looking horse to own.
LOS ANGELES 33/1
I put this horse up on twitter as a dark horse after maiden win went on to win group one in
FranceAnd now confirmed he return on Sunday in the derringstown. Race under a different sponsor now but same race
Alas no entry for Spoken Truth on Sunday, so I’d say highly unlikely to go for Epsom. Sorry, Bobby, looks like I steered you down a blind alley.
I would definitely be in the camp for CITY OF TROY come Derby Day, like a few of you said his pedigree – By triple crown winner Justify, the mare competed both Oaks on UK and Irish Soils, and was runner up in a Musidora, then on to Galileo the damsire who needs no introduction. That 8/1 on offer after his defeat in the Guineas has long gone.
I wasn’t overly confident on City of Troy for the guineas because although a short price he was around his starting price for months on end. Usually an O’Brien hot pot would be smashed up, even down to something like 4/9 with what he achieved as a two year old and connections like to smash one off the boards. The market could be telling on the wellbeing of him
Blackbeard to conquer the World
I thought City of Troy was too bad to be true, and if I’m being honest Nathan, I shared your pessimism leading up to the off.
I couldn’t bet him now, but I’m hoping rather than expecting to see him bounce back here.
The Euphrates 50-1 ew
Second string today but he’s a bonny little horse who ought to cope with the track and should have no problem staying the trip.
