Durban July betting

Possibly South Africa’s most famous horse race – the Durban July – kicks off in about 20 minutes time and this has got to be one of the most open races in years.

Betting according to World Sports Betting here is how it stands:

  • Irish Flame – 4/1
  • Bold Silvano – 6/1
  • River Jetez – 6/1
  • Pocket Power – 10/1
  • Fort Vogue – 12/1
  • Ancestral Fore – 12/1
  • Lizarre – 14/1
  • Orbison – 16/1
  • Russian Sage – 16/1
  • Happy Valley – 16/1
  • Asian – 18/1

The rest are trading at 40/1 or worse.

I have backed the veteran Pocket Power to put in one last big performance irrespective of the draw. I’ve also taken an outside punt on Vertical Takeoff at 80/1

Should be an interesting race!
