Ryan Moore can also claim first spot aboard Ripp Orf (5.20) in the closing one-mile handicap on the card
So there’s a race on Friday at Newmarket which Aidan O’Brien has won for the last two years and it looks like he may very well win it again but his runner isn’t even favourite. How often does that happen?
The betting market generally loves an obvious O’Brien sort but Gossamer Wings (2.25) has evidently not caught our collective attention because she’s available at 11-2 for the nine-runner Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes, formerly known as the Cherry Hinton. Punters prefer Main Edition and La Pelosa, who fought out the finish of the Albany at Royal Ascot.
