Frankel 2000 Guineas Betting Odds – 3.10 Newmarket, Saturday April 30th

Horse Racing Betting

The Classics get underway this weekend at Newmarket, with the 2000 Guineas running on Saturday, and the 1000 Guineas getting underway on Sunday. It’s a busy bank holiday of horse racing and these are the feature races of the weekend. The Classics are a series of five flat races, the 2,000 Guineas, the 1,000 Guineas, the Epsom Oaks, the Epsom Derby and the St Leger Stakes. The 2,000 Guineas is for Colts and Fillies, and starts off the Classics (and along with the Derby and the St Leger Stakes makes up the Triple Crown), so eyes will be on the 3.10 at Newmarket on Saturday and all eyes will be watching the highly rated Frankel. This is some horse and Frankel 2000 Guineas betting at the moment says it all. The Henry Cecil trained colt has won his last five outings, with the most recent a comfortable victory at Newbury over Excelebration a couple of weeks ago. That simply means that the three year old has nailed five wins in five flat starts. Frankel goes as outright favourite, and frankly (pun intended) it is hard to bet against him. There are a couple of tempters in the field to get behind, but Antepost favourite Frankel just looks to be the sensible strong bet. Frankel is currently trading at 4/7 with Boylesports in 2000 Guineas Betting and a look at his course record sees two wins for him already in his short career at Newmarket. Possibly the most awesome thing about Frankel is that there is still room for improvement and he can get even better. Frankel usually gets off to a slow start, but once he does hit the front then you can pretty much wrap up the race with his pace and most importantly, his staying power. While Frankel 2000 Guineas betting is drawing a lot of attention, the pressure mounts with each race as he defends his unbeaten record. Frankel has currently taken 41% of all outright bets on the race, which is pretty impressive and everything about him just looks right. Preparation (wasn’t 100% fit for his last race, which he still won anyway), and looks as if he is going to go all the way.

Where are the most likely challengers going to come from? Well we’re going to look at Roderic O’Connor here. Roderic O’Connor came in second behind Frankel in October last year at Newmarket, and picked up a good win in Saint Cloud just a couple of weeks after that. Probably the strongest of the challengers, and trading at 9/1 with Stan James at the moment, looks a solid each bet at the least. Not sure if Roderic O’Connor can beat Frankel in a straight footrace, but if there is a mistake from the favourite, then Roderic O’Connor is the most likely candidate to punish it. Needs to hold straight though, as is a bit prone to drifting. The other main challenge will likely be the one from Pathfork, who is currently a decent bet for 13/2 at Paddy Power. Like Frankel, Pathfork has an unbeaten record to defend, winning all three appearances of a young career. Showed great mettle and staying power when holding off Casamento at Curragh. That is the only course the Mrs John Harrington trained charge has ran at though. Still, should put in a good running for the race. Truthfully, the likes of Casamento and Fury are only showing interest as each way bets in 2000 Guineas betting, mostly because they look beatable. So, stick with Frankel 2000 Guineas betting because he remains the horse to beat. There should be profit on him, but as a tip, look at Roderic O’Connor for a good place finish due to value.
