Is there a doubt about Tuesday's participation in the race?
I ask because the betting is currently:
Emily Upjohn 1/2
Tuesday 4/1
Both have ORs of 117.
Both have RPRs of 117.
On Topspeed ratings Tuesday is 1lb in front, 98 to 97.
When they met in the Oaks, Tuesday prevailed very narrowly.
Shouldn't they be really much closer to each other?
Is it because Tuesday took a bit of a doing in the Irish Derby? But couldn't she just have bounced there?
Is it because Emily Upjohn is thought to be much better than the bare form at Epsom? But didn't Moore say Tuesday had plenty left at the line?
I'd be seriously tempted by that 4/1 if I knew for definite the plan was to run.
