Oddschecker users backing Declarationofpeace could top off a bumper day for Ryan Moore.
Looking at the cards on day one of the famous festival, it would be easy to assume that Churchill would be Ryan Moore’s banker. Even though the 2000 Guineas and Irish 2000 Guineas has been a popular horse among British racing fans the morning before the festival, Declarationofpeace is dominating the betting ring.
The Aidan O’Brien-trained horse came third on debut at Navan before winning a tricky 5f race on the all-weather at Dundalk. O’Brien is no stranger to Ascot, and whole-heartedly believes the quicker ground underfoot will suit the two-year-old.
The conditions at Ascot today might be one reason to explain the on-going support for the horse this morning. The money flooding in has been relentless, and now Declarationofpeace accounts for 51.55% of all money staked on the race via Oddschecker today. This is a touch over five-times the amount we’ve seen for second most popular pick, Another Batt.
Two bookmakers have the O’Brien charge at 3/1, a distance shorter than the 5/1 which was available just two days ago. While the Windsor Castle Stakes isn’t a massive ante-post betting race, the most impressive bet via Oddschecker is a four-figured sum placed at 5/1 on Sunday evening.
Barney Roy to beat Churchill today? #RoyalAscothttps://t.co/HiwzCKEX0C
