Teofilio

[Lingfield]

Rumours abound this afternoon that all is not well with Teofilio and there are doubts about its participation in the Guineas.<br>Some bookies have Dutch Art as favourite, others suspended betting.<br>Anyone know anything?

[Aragorn]

Reports say its back into favouritism now on BF.. Nothing in any of the press other than that though….

[clivex]

lot of markets suspended still

somethings going on….

[Flash]

Big story on Racing Post site. Ladbrokes have him as favourite still but most lists are still suspended.

Interesting.

Drifted on Betfair but since restored as fav.<br>Guineas sponsors Stan James suspended betting.<br>Corals spokesman states deluge of money for market rivals and in their experience "something amiss"

Drat – had the max allowable £300-£30 about him winning the triple crown on my completely unrestricted Quarrels account. Looks like I won’t be eating that value.

A devastating blow to the flat season if true.

From the Life.

Ladbrokes, however, opted to re-open betting on the Guineas and Derby shortly before 6pm.

Spokesman David Williams said: "We suspended both markets as a precautionary measure, but haven’t found anything to substantiate the rumours about Teofilo.

"We’re now back up and as far as we’re concerned, it’s business as usual."

Nice of Laddies.  See they’ve kept his price at 5/4 due to no substantiation of the ‘rumours’.  It must just be coincidence that they’ve cut Dutch Art, Strategic Prince, Adagio….

Thieving (insert profanity).

Back in to 4.1 on betfair must be a quick healer ;)

Tears in the Johnson household. :angry:

Seriously whatever the outcome, this reflects poorly on Bolger. The fact he is keeping eveyone guessing.

Agree. Only benefit I can imagine of this is backing Teofilo at nearly 5/1 now. Surely, if there was a problem Bolger would have said something by now?

Surely …? ;)

Once he’s laid it for all he’s worth, you mean :biggrin:

It is a stinging blow to flat racing though, should Teofilo not line up at Newmarket, the widely proclaimed ‘monster’ not being able substantiate such claims on the biggest stage of all.
