International Stakes Tip

Our International Stakes tip for this week's big Group One Juddmonte International Stakes betting race at the York Ebor meeting is Derby hero New Approach. Many people believe it is a brave decision by the horse's trainer, Jim Bolger, to run New Approach against Aiden O'Brien's mightiest star, Duke of Marmalade. However such is the confidence in the Bolger yard that they are more than happy to take their chances particularly now that New Approach has fully recovered from the leg soreness that kept him out of the Irish Derby. He has been in great form at home and the news that he would run had the bookmakers immediately clipping his price.

Bolger who loves to confound the racing world has done so again by leaving New Approach in the race, the decision is a very brave one as he would not like his horse' reputation tarnished. The manner in which he won the Epsom Derby earlier this year suggested that New Approach is something special. He was tipped early in the year to be the next big thing of the race world but having failed twice to another of O'Briens superstar's, Henrythenavigator, in the English and Irish 2000 guineas, his tag of invincibility was dropped. However his Derby win put him back on track and it was clear that he needs longer than a mile and Bolger thinks that the ten furlongs at York will be the ideal trip. The Duke of Marmalade however remains as odds on favourite to win his fifth straight Group One race this season The race also includes the highly rated, Phoenix Tower from the Henry Cecil yard. Many leading online bookmakers are already predicting this to be a popular betting event and the odds look like this Betting 8/11 Duke of Marmalade, 11/4 New Approach, 9/1 Phoenix Tower, 10/1 Pipedreamer, 14/1 Lush Lashes.
