Aidan O'Brien's massive Derby favourite a huge drifter in the market as stablemate is smashed in
AIDAN O'BRIEN'S massive Derby favourite The Lion In Winter is a huge drifter in the market. And stablemate Delacroix has been smashed into favourite. 1 The Lion In Winter, the long-time favourite for the Derby, is a huge drifter in the market Credit: Getty Acomb Stakes winner The Lion In Winter - who flopped in the Dante at York - is out to a huge 11 (10-1) on the Betfair Exchange. While Coral reported a surge of bets for Coolmore-owned Delacroix, who looks like being the mount of Ryan Moore. Coral's David Stevens said: "Since Aidan O'Brien's comments earlier this week that Ryan Moore would find it difficult not to ride Delacroix at Epsom, the Leopardstown Trial winner has been the best-backed Derby contender by far. "He has regained outright favouritism for the Classic, in contrast to The Lion In Winter, who has now been eased to 6-1 for next Saturday's race." More to follow.

Investigation launched into jockey's fall off leading horse as statement issued following controversial Wexford finish
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN investigation has been launched into a jockey's fall off a leading horse - as footage of the controversial Wexford finish spread like wildfire online. Philip Byrnes was described on Racing TV as having a 'soft' unseat from Redwood Queen in the 2m1f hurdle race at the Irish track.

Gordon Elliott's Beacon Edge was 1-3 favourite but looked beaten as Byrnes - Charles' other son - cruised to the last two lengths clear on Redwood Queen. Punters thought victory was in the bag as the eight-year-old mare hit 1.14 on the Betfair Exchange. And she looked to take off straight and true at the last - only for Byrnes to exit the side door just before she landed safely on the other side. That left Elliott's charge with an uncontested lead as he sauntered home by 22 lengths to scoop the £5,000 first-place prize. There was disbelief among punters as the raceday stewards initially deemed the incident did not warrant any further action. But an Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board spokesperson confirmed on Thursday morning: "We note the position of the raceday stewards following their review of the incident. "We can now confirm the matter is down for review by an IHRB senior racing official." The stewards' report issued after the race read: "The raceday stewards reviewed the unseating of Philip Byrnes, rider of Redwood Queen, at the last hurdle when leading. "Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the raceday stewards took no further action." More to follow.
