Bookies favour Yeats in Ascot Gold Cup betting
June 18, 2009 · Print This Article
The race card for Thursday will be dominated by the Gold Cup meeting, it will be a great opportunity for Yeats to make it 4 wins in a row in this prestigious event on the racing calendar. However there will be stiff competition from Geordieland and a former winner here Patkai.
The race will cover 2 miles and 4 furlongs and it will feature just 9 runners with a prize of £141,925 on offer. The favourite for this race is Yeats ridden by Johnny Murtagh who has just picked up a 6 day ban following for careless riding whilst on Kayf Aramis in the Ascot Stakes where he hampered Ermine Sea on the home turn. The second favourite is Geordieland ridden by Shane Kelly. The Free bets Blog tip goes to Veracity which could be wise for an each way gamble.
