Derby-bound Twice Over misses Guineas

They promised to do it, but noone really believed they would - Twice Over skips the 2,000 Guineas in favour of an Epsom Derby bid for which the colt remains 5-1 with Bet365 Online Bookmaker in their Epsom Derby betting.

Twice Over won the Craven Stakes, a trial for the Guineas, but connections are aiming their star firmly at the Epsom Derby. Twice Over will next run in York's Derby trial, the Dante Stakes.

The news about owner Prince Khalid Abdullah's colt was announced today by racing manager Teddy Grimthorpe. Grimthorpe stated that Abdullah decided to skip the Guineas after talking to trainer Henry Cecil.

One word of warning to those betting on the horse, is that if connections do not believe Twice Over stays the Epsom Derby trip of a mile and a half (after the Dante) then he will be re-routed to the French Derby over two furlongs less instead.
