Insanity and his adherents...

...have made Librettist a 2.4/1 favourite for this afternoon's QEII over the 2.95/1 George Washington on Betfair.

Now I have questions regarding George's temperament, but have no doubt that he is a much better racehorse than Librettist, and will now back him at that price as he represents outstanding value, especially given that the soft ground is not, necessarily, a negative. When you consider that you have George, Araafa, Proclamation and Court Masterpiece running for you 1/2.4 is a great price to be laying Librettist.
