Andre Fabre confirms unbeaten colt Ocovango on course for Derby @EpsomRacecourse on June 1. Fabre: "All being well he will run at Epsom." |

"All being well he will run at Epsom.
"He doesn't need to lead. I just didn't want it to turn into a normal French race where they went no gallop. By making the running we could make it a decent pace. "By doing that he had no excuses. He'll probably be ridden handily but he certainly doesn't need to lead." |

Now that is good news, thanks BJG, where did I put those ante post slips !!
|
|
By:
Wow, an antepost punt for me that looks like it will get a run. £17 grand if he wins.
|
|
By:
Impressive stuff harchi. I thought I'd been shrewd enough with a tenner at 100-1 in February!
|

Howellsy this is how it's worked -
2 stakes, £100 win @ 20/1 the other £90.91 (limited with Lads) Duke of Clarence 11/2 (won @7/2) Dawn Approach Evs (won @7/4) Ocovango @ 12/1 ??????????? Interesting |
|
By:
Yes that's a very exciting treble harchi. What price would tempt you to start laying? I've checked my bet and it's actually £14 at 79 - amazing how the memory plays tricks.
|
|
By:
I don't think I will lay it off at all. Going to be away for the Derby (do not ask sore point in this house) and will hear the news when I land - talk about dramatic outcome.
|
|
By:
Dont lay anything off has to have a great chance.Top class horse
|
|
By:
I would definitely lay off given the prices you are already on and the fact the horse's form is all on soft
|
|
By:
Definitely lay off if it is Good to Firm, yeah. Monsun's love a bit of cut in the ground.
|
|
By:
what would you chaps lay off then.I just cant see the point.
|
|
By:
If he stands to win £17k then i'd lay to get my stake back at 10/1 or less. Still going to collect hefty if he wins. But i'd only lay if it was GF
|
|
By:
why lay to get 300 back would you really sint?
|
|
By:
£100 back, that's his stake. Foresake £1k if the going is Good to Firm. If he still wins the man will be winning £16k.
|
|
By:
thanks for the opinions guys, I don't think laying is an option worth bothering with particularly as I won't have any access near the off.
Fingers crossed, looking forward to breakfast event next week. Still think there may be some value in his price against the favourite. Hopeful but can't say confident ... oh well.. |
|
By:
sorry 190.91 looks like his stake if it was me whats 200 nicker but each to his own.
|
|
By:
exactly my stake is just shy of 200 quid and I wont miss it back ... treble's on !

ococango has a dosage index of 2.5. The average for derby winners is around 1, with dawn approach---the questionable stayer---has a dosage index of 1.69

By:
good luck harchibald.
|
|
By:
Let it run. Feel the pain. No regrets.
Good luck. |
|
By:
If I were in this position I'd put in some lays at the day of race stage, maybe £500 @ 2.5 and £2500@ 1.2. (although sounds like you may have no betfair access at that point Harchi?)
I failed to do this with Orfevre last season, which proved painful. |
|
By:
I'm on at 20's. Then again I'm off with Kingsbarns (£50 at 20/1) and Mars (80 at 14/1) and OCO might place to get me dosh back.
|
|
By:
Moved like a good un round the bend having brekkie with the stars. Should be in the first three and Mr F seemed bullish didn't he.
|
|
By:
Agree Fabre seemed very bullish, says the horse has all the attributes, and is a serious derby horse. Form looks strong, bearing in mind he has 3rd favourite for the Arc in his stable as well.
 |
|
By:
Will the jockey get lost around Epsom though.Don't know much about him.
|
|
By:
Katherine Fidler says Ocovango will win. Listen to her breeding analysis at Racingpost. Sensible girl is Katherine.
|
|
By:
He will have to be better than you hope if he's to win it from stall 1....all depends how they break.
|
|
By:
oooh la la Kieron might have got that home though.
|
|
By:
definitely unlucky not to place.
