Top-rated Shamardal given 12-1 Quote for Kentucky Derby

Last season's top-rated two-year-old Shamardal has been given a 12-1 quote by Coral for the Kentucky Derby following the news that the first leg of the US Triple Crown could be on his agenda. Godolphin's unbeaten colt remains 5-1 market leader for the 2,000 Guineas, ahead of stablemate Dubawi at 8-1."Given that the subsequent Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Wilko was beaten comfortably by Shamardal at Goodwood last summer, if he takes to dirt, he could have a real chance of giving Godolphin that elusive Kentucky Derby win," reckoned Coral's David Stevens."It will be a massive blow to many ante post punters if Shamardal heads to Newmarket rather than Churchill Downs, but definitely a result for the layers," added Stevens.Last season's top-rated juvenile filly Divine Proportions heads Coral's 1,000 Guineas list at 4-1; Dubai Millennium's son Dubawi is 8-1 favourite for the Vodafone Derby, and Fillies' Mile heroine Playful Act occupies the same position in Coral's Vodafone Oaks betting. **2,000 Guineas5-1 Shamardal, 8-1 Dubawi, 12-1 Etlaala, 14-1 Ad Valorem, Oratorio, 16-1 Motivator, 20-1 Footstepsinthesand, Iceman, Layman, Librettist, Rob Roy,25-1 Echo Of Light, Belenus, Oude, Montgomery's Arch, Perfectperformance, Rebuttal, Tiger Dance, 33-1 Cape Greko, Democratic Deficit, Diktatorial, Gaff, Home Affairs, Satchem **1,000 Guineas4-1 Divine Proportions, 10-1 Playful Act, 12-1 Damson, 16-1 Echelon, Shanghai Lily, 20-1 Quickfire, Silk And Scarlet, Suez, 25-1 Dash To The Top, Discuss, Golden Legacy, Intriguing, Magical Romance, Maids Causeway, Mona Lisa, Penkenna Princess, Soar, Whazzat, 33-1 Cherokee, Drama, Fen Shui, Jewel In The Sand, Salsa Brava, Queen Of Poland, Shohrah**Vodafone Derby8-1 Dubawi, 10-1 Motivator, 20-1 Rob Roy, 25-1 Albert Hall, Belenus, Oude, Perfectperformance, 33-1 Echo Of Light, Avalon, Elliots World, Grand Central, Layman, Plea Bargain, Windsor Knot, Yehudi, 40-1 Etijahaat, Hard Top**Vodafone Oaks8-1 Playful Act, 14-1 Intrigued, 16-1 Dash To The Top, 20-1 Ayam Zaman, 25-1 Silk And Scarlet, Kitty O Shea, Maids Causeway, Her Own Kind, Whazzat, 33-1 Damson, 40-1 Mona Lisa
