SO YOU THINK has been backed into even-money favouritism for Saturday's Group 1 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown after the sponsors reported taking a ú40,000 bet on the Prince Of Wales's Stakes runner-up, reports the UK Racing Post.
It says: The Aidan O'Brien-trained favourite, who was cut from 5-4, faces a mouthwatering clash with last year's Derby and Arc winner Workforce. Eight remained in the ú400,000 1m2f race at the five-day entry stage on Monday, including three other Group 1 winners.
David Stevens of Coral said: "We initially made So You Think the 5-4 favourite ahead of Workforce, based on his superior ten-furlong form, and one London-based account punterin particular agreed with us, and his ú40,000 wager saw the dual Cox Plate winner's odds shorten to evens."
As a result of the support for So You Think, Coral pushed Workforce out to 13-8 (from 6-4), with Snow Fairy 13-2 (from 6-1).
Boylesports and Bet 365 go 10-11 about the Ballydoyle horse, while Paddy Power are a best priced 11-10. Other possible runners Cape Blanco, Snow Fairy and Jan Vermeer could be joined by Confront and Alexander Pope. Six of the eight potential runners are trained by either O'Brien or Sir Michael Stoute.
