A horse that makes its owner £ 140,000 per race is the subject of ‘huge’ Royal Ascot bets – when a whole series of big names was taken from the largest racing spectacular racing of the summer.
Tuesday’s scratching phase saw superstar stay Kyprios removed from the Gold Cup because he retired with immediate effect.
And he was not the only top runner with their royal dreams weeks before it starts on June 17.
Among them, John and Thady Gosden’s Prix was the l’Opera-winning Merrieveeulen friendly soul, who had been as short as 10-1 for the 1m Queen Anne.
She was also cut from the use of £ 1 million Prince of Wales over 1m2f, together with, among others, Stablemate Running Lion – Dad Roaring Lion’s First Royal Ascot Star.
Courage Mon Ami, the Gold Cup winner of 2023, had already been taken out of the function race – while Aidan O’Brien’s Tower of London was also drawn.
Wathnan saw one of their big horses, Haatem, who won the Jersey Stakes from last year, cut from the Queen Anne and Prince of Wales.
The four -year -old Colt, who has finished fifth and fourth this season so far, has one remaining access in the summer, in the Sussex Stakes in Glorious Goodwood on July 30.
The owner’s electrolyte was also scratched from the Commonwealth Cup, just like a great recent French 2000 Guineas winner Henri Matisse.
With a large number of big names, Ladbrokes reported some massive market movements.
No larger than that of the French Raider and Jerome Reynier-educated lazzat.
The Globe-Trotting Sensation, which has won more than £ 1.4 million in relation to its ten career tuns, has been reduced to the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes.
Now 7-2 with Ladbrokes, he could be the one who would get the 6F sprint worth more than £ 500,000 for the winner, especially as a former Ante-Post favorite, Aidan O’Brien’s Storm Boy, flopped on debut for the Ballydoyle boss last weekend and is now up to 20s.
Illinois has replaced Kyprios at the head of the Gold Cup bet, while Stablemate Lakie Victoria is now chances for the coronation rods after her Irish 1000 Guineas victory.
But an unknown French runner could spoil the feast of Illinois.
Candelari looked all the endurance in claiming a Longchamp Group 1 on weekends and is now only 3-1 second FAVAV behind 11-8 Illinois.
Alex Apati van Ladbrokes said: “The Kyprios pension news has opened the Ascot Gold Cup market wide, and although Illinois is now in the lead in the bet, it is Candelari who has received the most striking boost of all.”
