Opinion

This horse will win the Derby, surely?

OK, this isn't a tipping site. But...

I was out all yesterday and only caught up with the Dante result late last night. Authorized, the ante post Derby favourite, made his comeback. And what a performance! I can't remember being so taken by a Derby trial in years. Not, in fact, since the ill-fated Shergar won the Chester Vase.

Authorized's price has come in - as it would do after such a scintillating win. But at 6/4 - a 50% return on investment - that is some price for what I think must be as near a certainty as one can have in a race like the Derby.
