EPSOM DERBY: Authorized & Dettori Score...

[brockguy]

19 left at the 5 day stage headed by odds on Authorised who could be the first odds on shot to contest the derby since Entrepreneur failed to stay in 1997.. Pletcher had 5 in Kentucky but O'Brien could have as many as 8 at Epsom.. 8...Ive liked Admiralofthefleet since he won last September but he wouldnt want it soft and he has stamina doubts..

Aqaleem for me........... would love to see Mahler win, but looking on betfair he looks unlikely to run.

Anything but Authorized and i will be happy

Wow, thought I'd already replied to this....

Anyways, AUTHORIZED!!

Authorized deserves to be odds-on, looks a class above the rest to me.

Great post Snowy...may I call you Snowy?

I'm still narrowing it down but i love Yellowstone, Eagle Mountain and Chekov.

AOB has it covered but I hope Eastern Anthem does well too.

No horse deserves to be odds on for the Derby, not in my opinion, anyway.

Entrepreneur was odds on for the derby and he got beat, i think Tenby was odds on too!

His odds are to do with hype, not to do with form. Aqaleem has already finished in front of Authorized as a 2yo.

Oops, just had a look at his pedigree. Yikes. Inbred to Nureyev and full sister Special, pretty closely, too. Lots of miler-types, including his mum (at least she's a good class SW) and big sister Limit. Full brother broke his maiden at 10f in Ireland (g/f), best he ever did. 12f could be a stretch, especially on softish ground. He'll need it to dry up a bit before tomorrow.
