The Derby

[Mentholdan]

With just ten days to go to the Derby there are 48 horses left in the line up, 19 of which are trained by Aiden O'brien and 8 for John Gosden, neither of which have the first or second favourite. Two that are still in have yet to race so that all but eliminates them and another still in that you can put a line through is Pinatubo. My advice this year, don't put your bet on until the day of the race and then stick a pin in. If the weather stays like it is expect good to firm going, they're watering the course every day but the subsoil is mostly chalk so it dries out very quickly.

25-1 winner trained by A. O'brien, 50-1 second, 66-1 3rd. 

I hope you took my advice and just stuck a pin in? I did and still couldn't get one in the frame. 😭

They both went well but you have to be open minded about the form, especially as a track record was broken in an earlier race.

I wouldnt trust the form from that race. Enterprising ride for sure, but a lot to be said for those in behind allowing a horse to have a 12L lead at 3 marker.
