One more thing.. 6/4 joint favourites is absolute nonsense. Lady Aurelia has blitzed everything she’s run against including top sprinters who reoppose like Marsha.
Battaash is a horse I’m a fan of. But there is absolutely no way whatsoever he deserves to be joint favourite with some bookies. He’s won a group 3 and a group 2 (albeit inpressively) and suddenly he’s the same price as the quickest horse I’ve ever seen. Nonsense pricing.
It’s a good thing that you mentioned Marsha.
Lady Aurelia beat Marsha by 3¼ lengths at Ascot while being 5lbs better off at the weights.
Battaash beat Marsha by 3 lengths in the group 2 at Goodwood while carrying equal weight. Technically speaking, it was a group 2 but Battaash beat the same 2 horses that Lady Aurelia beat in a group 1 and by a similar margin i.e Marsha and Profitable.
Today, Lady Aurelia is going to be only 2lbs better off than Marsha and 3lbs better off than Battaash. The form lines of Lady Aurelia and Battaash are very close and lady Aurelia’s advantage at the weights is going to be reduced marginally. So, it makes sense why both of them are being offered at similar odds.
