Fracas and Grand Central 16-1 after weak Derrinstown
09/05/05
Fracas
and Grand Central are both 16-1 chances for the Vodafone Derby following
their first and third respectively in the Group 1 Derrinstown Stud Derby
Trial at Leopardstown yesterday.
Grand Central was well backed at 20-1 with totesport for the Derby before his run today but was boxed in at a crucial stage before running on to finish third to Fracas. Grand Central is now a 16-1 chance along with Fracas (unchanged).
Spokesman Damian Walker said: "Grand Central might have won with a clear run and had been really well backed for the Derby prior to today's effort, but on this evidence he doesn't look the pick of Aidan O'Brien's Classic hopefuls.
"This did not look the high-class trial we have been used to seeing in recent years so we have taken the opportunity to trim market leaders Gypsy King and Motivator who are both bad ante-post results."
Meanwhile O'Brien's Carrickmines Maiden winner Scorpion is 25-1 from 40s for the Vodafone Derby after his Leopardstown success. David Wachman's runner-up Magnolia Lane remains a 33-1 chance for the Vodafone Oaks.
