Stradivarius 10/11 FAV in Yorkshire Cup Stakes Racing Odds

Without question, it will be all eyes on the now 8-year-old STRADIVARIUS as he makes a York return.

He is the current 10/11 FAV in the Yorkshire Cup Stakes betting* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

Stradivarius has had five previous runs at York and he has won them all. That includes two Yorkshire Cup Stakes victories.

The former Group 1 winner sets the standard in this one. He has proven in recent seasons that he goes well fresh.

Stradivarius was last seen taking a place finish behind Trueshan in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot.

He’s already a legendary stayer of his generation and could add to his tally.

Search For A Song to launch a challenge?

The biggest threat to Stradivarius in the Yorkshire Cup Stakes odds on Friday is SEARCH FOR A SONG at 3/1* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

She is a very good mare, landing the Irish Leger a couple of times before.

On her penultimate run of last season Search For A Song collected the Loughbrouwn Stakes.

She should be much sharper for her reappearance run last month.

That effort, three weeks ago at Navan saw her take a very encouraging second-place finish.

While Search For a Song looks the best alternative to Stradivarius and indeed receives weight from the entire field, she may need a little further than this.

Taskhkan could spring a surprise

TASHKHAN was a fifth palace finish in the Sagaro Stakes on his reappearance run which was a couple of weeks ago at Ascot.

That was a 2m trip so he is eased back quite a way.

Tashkhan was fifth in the Sagaro and he clearly looked as if he needed that run under his belt.

So he should strip fitter for this contest on Friday.

Taskhkhan showed plenty of progress for his yard last season and is no forlorn hope from 11/2* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

Thunderous looks to kick on

THUNDEROUS is a good gelding and put in a solid shift last time out to claim a second-place finish.

He was a runner up in the Ormonde Stakes, the second run of the new season, benefitting from a reappearance.

Last season Thunderous was highly tried in pattern company.

He ran with plenty of credit in defeat and it does look as if there is a big season for him.

But this could be beyond him from a 10/1 quote* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

Max Vega needs a big improvement

MAX VEGA landed a win in the John Potter on his reappearance, getting the better of Thunderous in that one.

That was his first score since his juvenile campaign.

It gives him plenty of encouragement as a 5-year-old now.

Max Vega should not be troubled by the step-up in distance in this one at all.

He has a good attitude and will give it a shot.

But in facing a couple of high-class performers, others are preferred for win purposes.

Max Vega is a quote of 10/1 in the Yorkshire Cup Stakes betting market* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

Predictions & Tips for Yorkshire Cup Stakes Racing Odds

SEARCH FOR A SONG at 7/2 makes a superb alternative to the favourite in this contest* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

She is such a good, likeable mare.

The one question mark over her chances against Stradivarius is that this probably isn’t her best distance.

STRADIVARIUS, therefore, has to be the one that is backed all the way for success as he seeks a third win in this race.

The 7-time Group 1 winner sets the standard at 8/11* (odds recorded at 19:15 GMT on May 12th 2022 at Paddy Power).

As for any potential runner that could spring a surprise. That would have to be TASHKHAN who will likely be a lot stronger for having had his reappearance.
