Gamble Alert: Joseph O’Brien runner backed in to 4-1 from 14-1 at Cork 📉

Joseph O'Brien celebrates winning the Irish Gold Cup with Edwulf

There’s a significant gamble underway at Cork on Sunday morning. One runner who was available at 14-1 on Saturday night has seen its price capitulate. The runner in question’s current best price is now just 4-1. This is a sign of significant market confidence and has propelled the horse into outright favouritism in the betting. It looks like a competitive race and it’ll certainly be a situation to keep an eye on before the race is off. Check out our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.

1.40 Cork

Joseph O’Brien’s San Salvador (4-1, bet365) is the subject of this major move. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that a gamble involving an O’Brien horse has been pulled off. This looks like a sensible one as there are plentiful reasons to expect a big run from this gelding.

2m4f is a good distance for him as his sole hurdles win came over this trip. He won a maiden hurdle at Listowel, scoring by a length-and-a-half. Despite the fact that it wasn’t the greatest of races, there have been a couple of winners coming out of the race. This includes the sixth who won a novice chase at Cheltenham when last seen.

Things didn’t go to plan over 2m6f last time out as he ran a good race for a long way before fading away between the last two flights. Shane Fitzgerald is a useful 3lb claimer and lightens the load by taking the ride here. Off since July, he should be raring to go and there could be plenty more to come off this mark of 122.
