2000 Guineas Betting Tips Pt 3
- By A.J. Ryder on January 3, 2014 18:43 GMTRight now you can lock in a very solid 8/1 on War Command and that puts him alongside Kingston Hill in the 2000 Guineas ante post market. Roger Varian trains the talented son of Mastercraftsman and the Racing Post Trophy winner also has a Group 3 to his credit. He had a one-month campaign in 2013 and looked good debuting at Newbury in a maiden race and then running three weeks later at newmarket in his first stake - capturing the race by a solid 2 length margin when he was sent off at a very solid 15/2.

A mere two weeks to the day afterwards, the was able to topple Johann Strauss at Doncaster to complete a hat-trick of wins in 35 days. That bodes well for his ability to conquer the Guineas and then potentially move on to the Derby at Epsom just a short time later. With the ability to turn around so quickly, you almost reckon he might be more suited to the American Triple Crown - where horses are expected to go from 1m2f to 1m4f within the space of five weeks.
He has the ability to track leaders and then stay on well when the time really calls for it.
Irish-bred Toormore is an undefeated contender coming out of Richard Hannon Sr’s yard and the Vincent O’Brien National Stakes winner has taken money every single time he’s run - going off the favourite each time except his maiden win at Leicester when he was a 5/2 joint favourite. He has forged a quality partnership with Richard Hughes and the pair look ready to unleash themselves on Europe next year.
You get the feeling that this one may prefer the longer distances and he also has a Group 2 victory at Goodwood to his credit as well. He was able to get the better of Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Outstrip in that effort and you reckon that it bodes well for his chances.
