Guineas support for Sante
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ladbrokes yesterday reported strong support for the French challenger A Votre Sante in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket and have cut Criquette Head's filly to 10-1 from 16-1.
"Given the excellent record of Criquette Head in the 1,000 Guineas and the support we have seen today for A Votre Sante, the filly must command respect in a market dominated by just three fillies up to now," said Ladbrokes's Ian Wassell.
Henry Cecil's Bosra Sham, who followed up her success in a Newbury maiden with a three and a half length victory over the John Dunlop-trained Bint Shadayid in Ascot's Fillies' Mile, heads the market at 2-1.
Blue Duster, trained by David Loder and unbeaten in four outings as a two-year-old, is second favourite at 7-2 with Bint Shadayid 7-1. Nibbled at in the betting for the 2,000 Guineas has been John Gosden's colt Pommard, who is now 20-1 from 25-1.
Saturday's Classic trial meeting at Kempton might throw up a lively outsider for next month's Guineas meeting.
Four of the 18 fillies entered in the Masaka Stakes - Miss Universal (trained by C Brittain), Sea Spray (P Chapple-Hyam), Sil Sila (B Smart) and Tamnia (J Dunlop) - are engaged in the 1,000 Guineas while four of the 13 colts in the Easter Stakes - Believe Me (Hannon), Elshabiba (J Dunlop), Line Dancer (W Jarvis), and Regiment (R Hannon), - are still in the 2,000 Guineas.
