Rip Van Winkle Breeders Cup Betting Odds Shorten After QEII Victory
Monday 28 September 2009 at 11:39
Rip Van Winkle was shortened in the betting for two Breeders Cup races after a successful performance in Saturday's QEII Stakes at Ascot. Rip Van Winkle beat three good rivals on Saturday for his second group ones success of the season and now heads to the Breeders Cup in good form.
Rip Van Winkle Set For Eclipse Rematch Against Sea The Stars
Rip Van Winkle could follow in the footsteps of Ravens Pass, who last year won the QEII before taking the Breeders Cup Classic, but that would probably mean clashing with Sea The Stars once again. Rip Van Winkle is now 3/1 with Boylesports, SkyBet and Blue Square, behind Sea The Stars who is 5/2 for the race with Stan James and Coral. Bet365 make the pair 9/4 joint favourites.
Rip Van Winkle Might Duck Sea The Stars Clash
Should Sea The Stars turn up for the Breeders Cup Classic Rip Van Winkle could take the easier option of the Breeders Cup Mile, over the trip he has scored twice at this year. William Hill make Rip Van Winkle a 4/1 shot for that race but it is more likely his stable mate Mastercraftsman will take in that race, he is 6/1 with Coral and William Hill. The favourite for the Breeders Cup Mile is last year's winner, Goldikova, who is 4/6 with Boylesports and Coral. For more Breeders Cup betting odds click on any of the bookie links above.
