Do you think only a sniper can beat the Doctor in the Derby today?-I'm on Stoute's best horse and off 2 watch!

Question

Oh well then fifty quid bites the dust-I'll just have to recoup it on the Nifty Fox in the 5.05,then!!

Answer 1

Pretty much. Casino Drive scratched - and that was his stiffest competition by far in this race.

If his cracked hoof does become a problem then anything can happen.

He should win without being tested. Maybe Denis of Cork gets up and gives him a run - but that is a long shot.

Answer 2

You'd have made a small profit if you backed it each way. Paddy Power were paying ¼ odds a place for the first 4 home, and it opened @ 8/1....

ps. Mind you, we're all wise after the event..
