Elarqam the one to beat at York as he faces Telecaster again

Horse Racing Betting

York Stakes racing odds should bring forth an exciting duel between Elarqam and Telecaster. Those appear to the standard-setters in this field.

This is race 5 from York on Saturday and it is a Group 2 Class 1 contest which is open to 3 year olds and above.

There are 7 declared for the contest with the going likely to be good. It’s an extended 1m 2f trip.

Last year’s winner was Elarqam who scored from a 7/1 SP (Dane O’Neill / M Johnston).

Returning champ Elarqam 9/4 FAV in York Stakes Odds

ELARQAM will no doubt pull in plenty of support for a return score at York in the York Stakes.

He is the current 9/4 favourite at least*(betting odds taken from William Hill at 22:00 GMT on Friday July 24th 2020).

The son of Frankel won a couple of listed events along with the York Stakes last season so developed into a top horse.

Elarqam made his return in the Brigadier Gerard (with Telecaster in second place) and then followed up with a Royal Ascot effort in the Hardwicke Stakes at a longer 1m 4f trip.

He should be comfortable back at this trip.

ELARQAM
9/4

William Hill

Telecaster a threat to the favourite

TELECASTER will be back up against Elarqam then in another engrossing contest. He returned to action with that third place effort at the Brigadier Gerard.

He was in the La Coupe at Longchamp following that and subsequently scored a good success there. That confirmed his form and he just streaked away for the Group 3 success.

There should be a strong challenge coming forth from Telecaster but will he be able to find enough to get the better of Elarqam?

That’s debatable but he is a clear 11/4 second favorite for the contest* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 22:00 GMT on Friday July 24th 2020).

Fox Chairman with some claims

FOX CHAIRMAN has steadily progressed in his career and a recent third place in a Sandown Listed race shows what he is capable of.

The Andrew Balding-trained Fox Chairman had a really good time of things last season and the 4 year old could bring claims to the table from 8/1 to at least get in the places* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 22:00 GMT on Friday July 24th 2020).

More to come from 5 year old Aspetar

ASPETAR has won a couple of 12f trips before so is worth some attention. He had shaped well on his return to action at Sandown in a Listed race.

There’s a big chance that he could be even stronger now as a five year old and should be worth considering for the shortlist at 15/2* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 22:00 GMT on Friday July 24th 2020)

King Of Comedy can challenge with form boost

Last season KING OF COMEDY was pretty rampant. He doesn’t always get his head down well enough to make even stronger impressions.

King Of Comedy recaptured some good form on his return to action recently when he was second in Newbury’s Diomed Stakes.

He goes currently at 15/2 for this contest* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 22:00 GMT on Friday July 24th 2020).

Rest of the runners

LORD GLITTERS is a previous course winner, but could find the going a little too tough among some very good company here. He did win the Queen Anne last year but he hasn’t been anywhere near that kind of form since then.

REGAL REALITY showed some promise with a third place in the Wolferton Stakes (Listed) at Royal Ascot. But then he was a long way short in the Eclipse at Sandown on his last run which is more of an indicator of where he is likely at. He was fourth in last year’s renewal.

Predictions & Tips for York Stakes Racing Odds

Well we have to, of course, go straight to last year’s winner ELARQAM. He should be back in the frame and the drop in trip compared to the Hardwicke Stakes effort should see the best of him.

TELECASTER should also be there or thereabouts again as he opposes Elarqam. But we don’t see him quite having enough to get the better of the favourite but should easily be in the places.

So then it comes down to who we think can do enough to get in the top three as well, we like the strength that ASPETAR showed on his return to action at Sandown.
