Which bookie would offer a realistic price for 2014 Derby...

victor might get 66-1

if you asked traders these days for the price of kauto star to win 1000 guineas next year, theyd have you on the phone for 5 mins and offer you 33/1 for max 50 quid and the rest at sp

I once asked Corals (double rancid outfit) for two a/p prices in the following year's 1000G. One was genuine, the other was made up. They quoted/offered me 10/1 against about each.

It was otherwise (genuinely) 16/1 the field.

i.e. they made a non-existent / mythical horse their new favourite

Corals you say?

Why do I have no problem believing that?

I have to say that I knew not to ask Corals!

I emailed a major bookmaker for a price on an unraced colt and filly for the 2014 Derby and Oaks and they emailed back asking for full details of the events including the dates.

Why not pester Betfair to open the market (I've asked as has others)? When they started they were innovative - now they just tamely follow the crowd.
