Calyx installed as favourite for 2000 Guineas following Royal Ascot victory

The Coventry Stakes winner has been drastically cut to win the 2000 Guineas.

This morning the John Gosden horse could be backed for next year's feature race at 20/1, however following a very impressive victory in the Coventry Stakes he's been cut to as short as 4/1.

Despite not matching Calyx at Ascot, Sergei Prokofiev has also been cut by the bookies winning the 2000 Guineas, O'Brien's horse is now as short as 14/1 for May's show piece.

Since Calyx took the spoils, he's accounted for a massive 94% of bets for the 2000 Guineas, compared to Sergei Prokofiev's 4.6%. Some sharp minded bettors managed to get on the Coventry Stakes winner at 20/1.

Oddschecker spokesman George Elek said: "It's still very early to judge this horse, but he's two outings so far have been very impressive.

“John Gosden appears to have another very good 2 year-old on his hands, and bookies certainly believe it's the real deal as 8/1 are the best odds still around for the 2000 Guineas."
