Yeats Odds On To Win Goodwood Cup
Thursday 31 July 2008 at 09:09
 Yeats is odds on to pick up his second major victory of the year in the Goodwood Cup this afternoon.
Aidan O'Brien's horse is 4/6 at Blue Square to follow up his Ascot Gold Cup treble with another triumph, with Honolulu the next strongest contender at 5/1 with 888Sport.
O'Brien has already had success at this year's Glorious Goodwood meeting, with Henrythenavigator winning the Group One Sussex Stakes yesterday.
And his chances of adding a Group Two title this week increased yesterday when it was announced that last year's champion Allegretto would not be running.
Rob Wright, a tipster for the Times, believes Yeats will yet again ride on to glory.
"He landed this race by the same distance from the same rival two years ago and it is hard to see him failing to provide Aidan O'Brien and Johnny Murtagh with another high-profile success," he remarked.
Mad Rush is the third favourite at 9/1 with Ladbrokes, followed by Distinction (16/1, Blue Square), Regal Flush (20/1, 888Sport), Peppertree Lane (25/1, Ladbrokes) and Sagara (33/1, Ladbrokes).
