The 2025 Should Be Odds-On Thread

I haven't got a strong view on the race, but if someone gave me a free bet on the contest I'd be having it on Forever Young, despite the wide draw.

I've spent 40 years plus in and around this game hearing and reading people saying "there is no reason why he/she shouldn't be effective on...." (insert dirt if it's a turf horse, turf if it's a dirt horse, Soft if it's a fast ground horse, Firm if it's a mudlark, a new trip, whatever) and more often than not the horse isn't as effective on it or at it.

Romantic Warrior "might" win, obviously, but it's a massive ask on a new surface.

strongly agree.
 
I was keeping a close enough on the market last night and today.For me the main feature of the market was William Hill being keen to take on the favourites -Walk of Stars and Wilson Tesoro were the two they were looking to avoid.
 
Sensational race - I've bet the winner (who imo got a great ride to overcome the draw) but what an effort from Romantic Warrior on his first run on dirt.

Daylight was third.
