Golden Sword market move one of many

Golden Sword is the pick of 15 possible runners for Aidan O’Brien in this year’s Ladbrokes St Leger.

Of the 41 horses entered for the race, a staggering 15 of them belonged to Ballydoyle, with the notable exception being ante-post favourite for the race, Irish Derby winning hero, Fame And Glory. 

As a result, Golden Sword has become the solid 3/1 favourite for the race with Stan James, and has been shortened to the same price from 7/2 with Victor Chandler.

The St Leger betting was not the only market shuffled after the entries for the Doncaster showpiece were received ,  Fame And Glory was shortened to 4/1 with Victor Chandler for the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, and was trimmed to the same price from 5/1 with SkyBet.

Meanwhile, with Saturday and the Coral-Eclipse fast approaching, favourite for the race Sea The Stars was shortened from 10/11 to 4/5 with the sponsors.
