The prestigious Ascot Gold Cup is set to run this Thursday, followed by the Coronation Stakes on Friday. Bet365 has posted odds for these events, so join now if you want to place a bet.
This is the first time in years that punters don’t get to bet on the unstoppable Yeats for the Gold Cup, but there are plenty of young hopefuls readying to begin their own dominant run. The current favorite in the odds at Bet365 at 7/2 is Manifest. Having been built up with a couple of easy runs earlier in the year, Manifest is in good form to stay the distance in this year’s Gold Cup.
Another leader in the odds at Bet365 is Ask at 9/2. Ask has been out of competition since October of last year, but long layoffs have never affected him in the past. Last year’s campaign gave Ask three wins and a single third placing out of four races, with three of those races Group 1 affairs. Ask is to be jockeyed by Ryan Moore, who led him to every one of his victories last year, including his win in the Coronation Cup.
The full odds at Bet365 for the Ascot Gold Cup are:
The Coronation Stakes will be run on Friday, June 18th and Bet365 has No Runner No Bet antepost odds up for it. Both Lillie Langtry and Anna Salai are favorites, each at odds of 9/2. While Lillie Langtry has a bit more experience, she has never managed to win a Group 1 race. Who you should favor really comes down to whether you think potential or experience will win out.
