Who Are The Favorites?
Cross Counter is a 4-year old bay gelding owned by Godolphin and trained by Charlie
Cross Counter is a 4-year old bay Gelding trained by Charlie Appleby and owned by Godolphin. Cross Counter was gelded after two minor wins and then returned in the summer of 2018. This horse won the G3 Gordon Stakes, was second in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes and finished 4th in the King George V Stakes. Then he finished 2018 by becoming the first British-trained horse to win the Melbourne Cup. This year, he won the Dubai Gold Cup G2 last March, finished 4th in the Ascot Gold Cup last June and 3rd in the Goldwood Cup, both G1 races. In his most recent start, he finished 4th in the Irish St. Leger last September 15th.
Mustajeer is a six-year-old Gelding owned by David Spratt and trained by Ger M. Lyons. This Great Britain-bred horse finished second in the Vintage Crop Stakes- G3 last April and third in the Tattersalls Gold Cup-G1 last May. After finished 5th in the Curragh Cup-G2, Mustajeer won his first race of the year by topping the 2019 Heritage Handicap at York Racecourse.
Marmelo is a 6-year old bay stallion owned by The Fairy Story Partnership and trained by Hughie Morris. He has won two out of his five starts this year, including his most recent one- the Prix Kergorlay last August 18th at the Deauville La Toques. Marmelo finished second behind Cross Counter in the 2018 Melbourne Cup.
Constantinople is a three-year-old colt owned by Michael B. Tabor, John “Susan” Magnier and Derrick Smith and trained by Aidan O’Brien. After winning the Gallinule Stakes-G3 last May at Curragh, he has finished second in three straight races including the most recent one, the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York last August.
Who Wins?
As with the other horse races, the odds here are ante-post odds since the final field won’t be Like other horse races, the odds we have right now are ante-post odds since we won’t know the final field of this race until after the Lexus Stakes. Moreover, we aren’t sure if the horses in the current odds board are even going to run the race. Without the final field, we can’t pick a solid winner but when it comes to these ante-post odds, you have to like the current form displayed by the defending race winner, Cross Counter.
Cross Counter has been the favorite in the ante-post betting since July and he’s already proven that he’s in top shape with a win at the Dubai Gold Cup earlier this year. With Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector in his lineage, he has an excellent pedigree and last year, he was ridden by Kerrin McEvoy, who has two Melbourne Cup wins. One thing going against him though is that the Melbourne Cup has not seen a repeat winner since Makybe in 2005. Other than that, Cross Counter is a good ante-post bet. Prediction: Cross Counter
