We’re fast-approaching the off of the 2018 St Leger Stakes yet traders seem at a loss to get their ante-post market in good order with a difference of opinion between the major betting firms paving the way for value. That hasn’t gone unnoticed by eagle-eyed punters eager to get in early and secure the best price possible on their selection. The group one flat race run over 1m 6f on the turf of Doncaster racecourse was first contested way back in 1776 – won by Allabaculia – currently puts forward £700,000 worth of prize money, with almost £400,000 of that delivered to connections of the winner. Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore teamed up to great effect last year when producing champion Capri, who won ahead of Crystal Ocean for Sir Michael Stoute and Jim Crowley, the runner-up edged by half a length. Stradivarius filled the major places, ending a short-head back in what was a gripping bunch finish. Neutrals will be hoping for a repeat of that

With the British Flat racing season well past the midway stage of 2014 the York Ebor Festival, featuring the top class Group 1 Juddmonte International Stakes, is drawing nearer, this year promising to feature the outstanding three-year-old middle-distance colt Australia, trained by Aidan O’Brein, writes Elliot Slater. The International is always one of the most eagerly anticipated races of the year, a clash between the best three-year-old’s and older horses in training, often attracting the cream of the crop from not only Britain and Ireland, but also from France, and occasionally from even further afield. If Australia does indeed take his chance in the 10 furlong contest he will be expected by most experts to start at odds-on on Betfair, despite the strength of the opposition that could include such as Mukhadram, Noble Mission, Trading Leather, and The Grey Gatsby. Australia, a son of Galileo, proved himself a smart performer last term when landing two of his three

If you believe in follow the market signals then there is only one horse you would want to back on Thursday 19th June in the Ascot Gold Cup, and that is Leading Light, last year’s impressive Aidan O’Brien-trained St Leger winner, writes Elliot Slater. The racing betting market has been all about the 2013 classic winner who saw off the classy Oaks winner Talent to score on Town Moor last September, having previously won over two miles at last year’s Royal Ascot fixture showing bags of stamina and a willing attitude to win on quick ground. Those attributes may very well stand him in good stead over the marathon two-and-a-half-mile trip of the showcase race at the wonderful five-day fixture that starts on June 17. Prior to his seasonal reappearance at Navan last month Leading Light was available at up to 4/1 in the ante-post racing betting for the Gold Cup, but those odds quickly disappeared as the son of Montjeu delivered a commanding performance to easily accou
