Secret Gesture cut to 10/1 for Breeders Cup challenge
The likelihood of soft ground for Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup meeting this afternoon prompted Coral to cut the odds of Secret Gesture winning the Filly & Mare Turf to 10/1 from 12/1.
When speaking to the media this morning, Secret Gesture’s trainer Ralph Beckett couldn’t hide his delight at the torrential rainfall that has drenched Keeneland track over the last twenty four hours, and expressed great confidence in his horse’s chance.
“While connections of some of the European contenders, notably Time Test and Golden Horn, will be cursing the weather somewhat, there was no hiding Ralph Beckett’s delight at the probability of soft ground for his filly, and she is now the clear third favourite for the Filly & Mare Turf behind Legatissimo and Miss France”, said Simon Clare, Coral Spokesman.
