Derby sponsors Star Sports are reporting healthy business both on their ante post market and on Saturday’s second round.
Spokesman Martin ‘Lofty’ Chapman said: “There has been good money for Glengar Bale, both ante post, from 14-1 into 12s and now 11s, and also on Saturday night where he has been backed in from 4-5 to 8-11.
“There has also been some decent interest in Deerjet Sydney, though I am prepared to go after him. He needs another crash break and at even money we will take our chance. I actually having a sneaking feeling for Sparta Master in there.
“Overall, Deanridge Rapid remains our biggest loser followed by Blue Tick George who were both well back earlier in the year, though had the Derby taken place in June, I understand that George wouldn’t have been in it.
“Overall business has been good. We have taken more bets than usual at the front of the market, and although we have missed out on-course – there was reasonable money last Friday, but very little last Saturday in the restaurant – at least the event is taking place.”
