Shamardal cut for Derby after French Classic Success
Coral has slashed Shamardal to 10-1 (from 20-1) for next month's Vodafone Derby after the Godolphin colt's victory in the French 2,000 Guineas this afternoon. "After the disappointment of Dubawi at Newmarket and this colt at Nad Al Sheba, Godolphin may now have a worthy contender to give Frankie Dettori that elusive first Derby win," said Coral's David Stevens.In Ireland, Shalapour's success at Gowran Park earnt him a 16-1 (from 33-1) quote for the Epsom Classic.**Vodafone Derby7-4 Motivator, 5-1 Gypsy King, 10-1 (from 20-1) Shamardal, Ehsan, Grand Central, 12-1 Fracas, The Geezer, 16-1 (from 33-1) Shalapour, Kong, Walk In The Park, 20-1 Scorpion, Tiger Dance, 25-1 Oratorio, Belenus, Indigo Cat, Kalamkar, 33-1 Mountain High,**Vodafone Oaks11-4 Virginia Waters, 3-1 Eswarah, 4-1 Cassydora, 10-1 Dash To The Top, 14-1 Playful Act, 16-1 Quickfire, 20-1 Fraloga, Pictavia, Saywaan, Silk And Scarlet, 25-1 Argentina, Halle Bop, Her Own Kind, Whazzat **Ascot Gold Cup3-1 Papineau, 4-1 Westerner, 5-1 Vinnie Roe, 6-1 Mr Dinos, 10-1 Franklins Gardens, 16-1 Lost Soldier Three, Millenary, Percussionist, Shabernak**Golden Jubilee Stakes5-1 Somnus, 6-1 Ad Valorem, 7-1 Fastnet Rock, 8-1 Nota Bene, 10-1 Ashdown Express, 12-1 Cape Of Good Hope, 14-1 La Cucaracha, Avonbridge, Quito, Striking Ambition, 16-1 Fayr Jag, Lafi, Pivotal Point, Royal Millennium, Soldiers Tale, The Kiddykid, 20-1 Moss Vale, Kind**King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes9-2 Ouija Board, 5-1 Doyen, 7-1 Phoenix Reach, 8-1 Bago, North Light, 10-1 Grey Swallow, Gypsy King, Motivator, 14-1 Alkaased, Warrsan, 16-1 Cherry Mix,
