Overview

  • Delacroix’s odds have collapsed from 16-1 to 5-1 for the July 30 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood following heavy ante-post support
  • The market move is being read as a signal that Aidan O’Brien’s Ballydoyle stable plans to revert Delacroix to a mile after his Coral-Eclipse win over ten furlongs
  • Field of Gold remains the 4-7 favourite as he chases a third straight Group 1 victory after successes in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes
  • Rosallion is positioned at 7-2 in William Hill’s market, splitting the anticipated duel between the two leading three-year-olds
  • O’Brien has not confirmed Delacroix’s entry, leaving the colt’s participation in the Sussex Stakes officially unannounced
