laid a bet of £550,000 at 10/11 on Frankel for the Quipco 2000 Guineas and Henry Cecil’s colt is now 4/5 from 10/11 for the colts’ classic at the end of the month.
spokesperson Charlie McCann: “The bet was laid on Saturday and we cut the horse immediately from 10/11 to 4/5 for the first Classic of the season. The unbeaten colt is reported to have worked well on Saturday morning in Newmarket and this news must have filtered through to the high-staking customer who placed the bet. It is fair to say we will be watching the Classic Trials with renewed vigour this week in the hope that a credible alternative to the brilliant Frankel emerges.”
