2009 JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL YORK EBOR BETTING TIPS

The big race at the opening day of the 2009 York Ebor Festival is the 3:25 running of the Juddmonte International Stakes which boasts a relatively small field with only four or five runners expected to line up at the gate. Most of the action and attention has been focused on John Oxx's Sea the Stars, who has boasted an excellent year with a 100% win rate since last August. He's beaten some of the best including Delegator, Fame and Glory and Rip Van Winkle. With 5 wins from 6 lifetime starts (the non-win was a 4th placed finish on his career first run at Curragh) you expect a very slim line on him and that's more or less where it's shaping up to be. You can lock in at Blue Square at 4/11 and I expect that price to dip even further as we get closer to post time. The real money here is in the forecast betting and the big puzzle seems to be who will make up the back end of your forecast. The punters are favouring Mastercraftsman from A P O'Brien. He's currently at 2/1 and that looks like a slim return unless you're betting very big. O'Brien has also entered Georgebernardshaw, who is listed at a massive 100/1 to win, but will return good odds as the bottom end of a forecast. And O'Brien has also entered Set Sail who carries a 150/1 pricetag. A Sea The Stars/Georgebernardshaw or Sea The Stars/Set Sail forecast would return a tidy profit. Effectively, if you're looking to cash in, you must bet against one of either Mastercraftsman or Sea The Stars. Sir Michael Stoute's Tartan Bearer is listed as doubtful.
