Epsom Derby 2010 Betting Odds Make Jan Vermeer Favourite As St Nicholas Abbey Is Declared Non Runner Tuesday 01 June 2010 at 12:08 St Nicholas Abbey has been declared as a non runner by Ballydoyle trainer Aidan O Brien for the Epsom 2010 Derby. St Nicholas Abbey was the Ante Post favourite for the Epsom Classic and was as low as 5/2 with Boylesports.
Jan Vermeer New Derby Favourite
The new favourite is another Aidan O Brien inmate in the shape of Jan Vermeer the recent winner of the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes, Betfair have the horse at 3.1 to win the Investec Derby and give owner Michael Tabor another big prize. We would expect this price to drift with Betfair as the race comes closer.
Aidan O'Brien Mob Handed
With a predicted field of around 14 there are plenty of dangers to Jan Vermeer including other O'Brien horses. He still has the third and fifth favourite in Midas Touch at 7/1 with Paddy Power and Cape Blanco at 10/1 with William Hill alongside outsiders At First Sight and Bright Horizon who are 100/1 and 200/1 with VC Bet.
Newmarket Derby Horses
The Main English challenge comes from Newmarket big guns Michael Stoute and Henry Cecil who saddle Workforce ridden by Ryan Moore who can be bet at a best price of 6/1 with the magic sign Ladbrokes and the Cecil charge Bullet Train at 7/1 with Bet 365 he was the winner of the Lingfield Derby trial when given a positive ride from Tom Queally. The question mark with Bullet Train is will he stay a mile and a half at Epsom.
Frankie Dettori Booked
A forgotten horse at an each way price is Rewilding ridden by Frankie Dettori he can still be backed at an overpriced 11/1 with Paddy Power and VC Bet. Rewilding won the Cocked Hat Stakes at Goodwood a race won by 1979 Derby Winner Troy and was supplemented for the Epsom Classic after that win.
