Epsom Derby day is upon us !

Looking at the race, it is hard to look beyond Saxon Warrior.  He has won the best trial and is unbeaten.  Another bonus is he is trained by Aiden O’Brian and ridden by Ryan Moore, but at even money with a few firms (Ladbrokes, Paddy Power) the bit of value is in the balance.  I think he will very likely win, but at 10/1 and above for the rest of the field, I will have a small each way on another that has a live chance.

Todays Free tip is as follows:

Horse: Delano Roosevelt

Time: 4:30 Epsom

Current Odds: 14/1 EW

This colt ran well to be second last time to Hazapour (who he meets again today).  He was second to Saxon Warrior at 2 over a mile, and although well beaten that day, it was a good run.  He is a really big horse, who has needed time to mature and fill his big frame.  He is still maturing and a lot more improvement is ahead, but his shrewd trainer would not be running him, if he didn’t think he had a decent chance. At good odds, he is my each way bet.
