The Derby 2019

[Trotter]

I see that Telecaster and Sir Dragonet have both been supplemented for the Derby at a reported fee of around 80,000 quid each

On the face of it that sounds like a pretty hefty thumbs up from connections that they think they've got a really good chance

I wonder if there are any stats anywhere as to how horses supplemented at a late stage and for a lot of money go on in the Derby ?

O'Brien has 8 horses left in ……… now if he's advising that they supplement Sir Dragonet is that a tacit admission that he doesn't think any of his other 7 are likely winners?

Madhmoon is 14/1 with a few firms . Looks a decent EW bet for a horse that was unbeaten at 2 including a group 2 win and which was a running on 4th in the Guineas

There used to be a saying '4th in the Guineas, win the Derby' ………….

Jesus that must be a while ago Trotter, no horse 4th in the guineas has gone on to win the Derby for at least 20 years that I can find. I think Generous did it back in the day.
