Irish Derby 2026

I'm not sure that Benvenuto would have won the Derby with a clean break, but the betting at the moment suggests that the AOB team think differently with it being the current well backed favourite at 11/10, Christmas Day on the other hand pushed out to 4/1 today, possible non runner?

Tiger Tiger, it's a possibility. However, I'd be surprised if the books have taken much connected money at this stage. I wouldn't expect them to take much until the runners have their final work before the race, that is unless the signs are that Christmas Day is going to need more time after his Derby exertions.

Got well btn @ Epsom even after the mishap in the stalls.
I don't see why he should reverse the form with the 3RD & 4TH if they show let alone the Wnr.

The ground is the key for Ben. He was inconvenienced the most in The Futurity but, 6/4 is short though.

CD looks the kind of derby winner who will never win another race. BC probably beat nothing at Chester. Raheeb appeals.

That looked a good performance by Raaheeb @ Sandown but don't think it looks
too clever now.All 6 he beat in that have since ran 10 times between them &
as of yet have failed to win a race.The best was Action's Dante run when 2ND.
Having said that he is 2/2 with improvement still to come probably.

Raheeb won easy last time but that form looks very poor now and it will be difficult going against the O'Brien mob but you never know. Would be good to see him win
