Sports Betting News: Notable Speech on Track for the Breeders’ Cup

Notable Speech showcased his Breeders’ Cup Mile credentials with an eye-catching victory in the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood in midweek.

Charlie Appleby’s colt lost his unbeaten record in the St James’s Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, but bounced back to leave horse racing betting sites counting the cost.

The son of Dubawi drifted from 13/8 to 3/1 in the betting, but rewarded punters who kept the faith by powering clear of his rivals in the final furlong.

Read on as we look at whether Notable Speech is a good bet to emerge victorious in the US, before assessing some of the other top stories from the betting sector this week.

After running a shocker at the royal meeting, Notable Speech had plenty to prove as he lined up against a high-class field in the Sussex Stakes.

Supporters never had a moment’s worry as the horse put the race to bed with a devastating turn of foot under jockey William Buick at the one-furlong pole.

The short home stretch at Del Mar should play to Notable Speech’s strengths and odds of 4/1 on betting apps to win the Breeders’ Cup Mile look great value.

Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien is eyeing a possible tilt at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe with Nassau Stakes winner Opera Singer.

After being given a fine front-running ride by jockey Ryan Moore, the Justify filly earned quotes of 8/1 from UK betting sites for the big race at Longchamp.

Opera Singer won the one-mile Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac at the Arc meeting last year and O’Brien is confident she will stay the extra distance.

Jan Brueghel maintained his unbeaten record in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood and is now rated as a 5/1 chance by several new betting sites to win the St Leger Stakes.

The son of Galileo edged a ding-dong battle with Andrew Balding's Bellum Justum in the final two furlongs and should have no problem with the step up in distance at Doncaster.

O’Brien described the horse as ‘very babyish’ and ‘very green’ after the race, which suggests there is still plenty of improvement to come.
