Derby Betting
The Derby betting took another twist today as at last we saw a genuine Derby candidate at Leopardstown this afternoon. The Dermot Weld trained Casual Conquest who turned the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial into a procession, but the unbeaten colt is not entered at Epsom and it remains unclear whether or not he will be supplemented for the Vodafone sponsored Classic. He was introduced into the Derby betting at 6/1 with Stan James although the Irish and French equivalents are also under consideration. The Derby Odds
There was more interest in the Derby odds when Sir Michael Stoute\'s Tajaaweed won the Group 3 Dee Stakes at Chester this afternoon. He was cut with Stan James from 25/1 to 20/1 for the Vodafone Derby at Epsom next month. Head of PR at Stan James Charlie McCann said He was the least exposed colt in the race and certainly deserves his place in the line up at Epsom. He didn\'t appear the ideal sort for the tight turns on the Roodeye, but he picked up impressively once Richard Hills made his move and, as that was only his third career start, he must surely come on for the experience. Lingfield Derby Trial Odds
The Lingfield Derby Trial odds, have Luca Cumanis Curtain Call as favourite for Saturdays big race. There are 15 entries in a race that has proven prosperous in the past for Cumani. He took the Lingfield Derby Trial route before with both Kahyasi in 1988 and High Rise in 1998 and both went on to win the Classic. Seems like years that end with a number 8 have been lucky for Luca. Will 2008 follow this trend? Swinton Hurdle Odds and Betting
The Swinton Hurdle odds and betting to be run at Haydock Park this weekend has seen money come for Tony Martin\'s Leg Spinner who is the favourite to take the race. Backers have latched onto the fact that the ground this week will seriously favour the horse and with the probable booking of Ruby Walsh for the ride, make him a very attractive bet; provided of course, you get on him early. He was 8/1 at the beginning of the week when betting opened, but is down to abouit 9/2 now with most Bookmakers. Irish 2000 Guineas Tip and Odds
The Irish Guineas Tip and odds have a very good price listed for the highly rated Sammy the Snake. The Diktat colt was a first time winner in the opening juvenile race in Ireland last season and had one or two Ballydoyle horses behind him.
