Ballydoyle horse assumes market favouritism
Meaningful, industry-wide, betting on the St Leger will not arrive until Saturday - the light market movements so far have clearly been a reaction to comments from connections and jockey bookings, rather than due to weight of money - but there has been a move for Age Of Aquarius today, and he is into [3.25] on Betfair.
Meanwhile, Kite Wood heads in the opposite market direction and now trades at over [5.0] on the exchange.
Betfair spokesman Tony Calvin commented: "Age Of Aquarius has been nibbled into 9-4 this afternoon, but we have only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to betting on this Classic.
"But certainly the Betfair layers are on a collision course with one-time favourite Kite Wood, and he is out to over [5.0] on Betfair."
