Who is the favourite to win the Coral Eclipse at Sandown?
City of Troy was unbeaten in three starts as a two-year-old and the son of Justify appeared poised for greatness heading into the season.
The bookmakers shared this sentiment, making him the 4/6 favorite for the 2000 Guineas. However, he finished a disappointing ninth, nearly 17 lengths behind the winner, managing to beat only two rivals home.
He managed to prove this was not reflective of his true talent when winning the Epsom Derby in impressive fashion next time out, winning by just under three lengths.
He is a current favourite at a best price of 4/9 to win the Coral Eclipse at bet365.
