King George value?

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

A quick word on the King George.

The credentials of Workforce are there for all to see.  Who wouldn’t want to see him to go on and confirm himself as this year’s wonderhorse after his extermely impressive Derby win?   But it seems to be forgotten that Cape Blanco beat Workforce in the Dante by over 3 lengths (though Workforce had something of an excuse), and won the Irish Derby last time out.  With Workforce likely to start at evens or odds on, and Cape Blanco at 6/1, is there some value in Cape Blanco’s price?  What about the older horses?   The last 10 years have only seen two 3yr old winners.  With some of these older horses still improving, can we be sure this year’s 3yr olds are even good enough?

Well, today we’ll see.  Too much to savour to worry about betting.
