Punters have been piling into New Approach for Saturday’s Epsom Derby following Monday’s shock news that Jim Bolger’s colt will actually run. Last year’s champion two-year-old was favourite for the mile-and-a-half contest over the winter but when Bolger stated in April that Epsom would not be the colt’s destination, a number of firms took him out of the betting. Since then he has been placed in both the English and Irish 2,000 Guineas and bookies reintroduced the son of Galileo (who won the Derby himself) into the market as a 6/1 chance. He has now been backed in to 5/1. Punters can do without these shenanigans. If the financial markets were mislead in the same way there would be people on their way to jail right now!
