It’s been widely reported that Chandlers took a bet of £550,000 at 10-11 earlier in the week; clearly, they aren’t prepared to lose any more on Frankel and their revised odds are basically telling punters to back the Guineas favourite elsewhere.
As for the ads, they really are abysmal. Next time I see Victor at the races, I’ll ask him if I can use his ‘phone…
Last year I picked first, second & third because of the word quickened in their racing comments. Today Frankel win should surely earn the word quickened in his comments. He should be a very good favorite in the 2000.

That’s fair enough but they are short on Pathfork, Zoffany and Native Khan too.
If he has liabilities on the fav. what’s wrong with laying some off with another high street name? Or even, god forbid, looking to balance the book by laying the rest of them?Last year I picked first, second & third because of the word quickened in their racing comments.

Soon tracking leader, quickened to challenge 3f out, led soon after, shaken up and edged left 2f out, driven and quickened clear final furlong, easily (op 1-3 tchd 2-9 and 2-5 in a place and 4-11 in places)Speaking of VC giving people the creeps, their new on course Rep (whose name escapes me) makes me squirm for some reason !

The guy they often interview on RUK? He seems pleasant enough but is incredibly anodyne; when he and Nick Luck are on together I half expect my TV screen to go all grey, like in the old episodes of Spitting Image featuring John Major.
If they really took a 550,000 bet this would be standard practice to go short to try and get some respectability on the book.
Very skeptical that a firm would tried to void a monster bet on one of Vincent O Brien Derby winners @ 33/1 would take a bet of 550k on a penalty kick
I’m glad I didn’t take Victor’s 4/9 being that we can get 4/7 on the day
Frankel is too short at even those odds IMO, the horse is a 4/5 chance at best.
With WH offering 5/1 about Frankel for the 2000 AND Derby double, is it now standard practice for the high street bookies to treat the punter like a dick?Would you take such a tight ass price when 4/6 is readily available elsewhere?
Obviously not
Would you buy a pair of trainers for £40 when the exact same pair can be bought at £30 next door.
Please don’t think I’m being critical of you but I don’t see the point of the question. In every single race there will be a bookmaker offering a price higher/lower than its competitors.
VC might have been very short about Frankel today, but ultimately they were the smart ones; they won’t have layed the horse much at that price, whereas bookies offering 4/6 will have layed a hell of a lot more. VC obviously took a view that Frankel was unbeatable, and they were right. VC are going top price on a number of markets – it’s called taking a view.
