A big gamble is taking place on Kaboo in the Windsor Castle Stakes (5.35pm) at Royal Ascot and the unraced two-year-old is into 15/2 joint second favourite from 100/1 with Paddy Power. Sky Bet are 6/1 from 50s.
It’s no easy task to scoop a two-year-old race with a horse never seen in public, but his Yorkshire trainer Karl Burke knows exactly what is required to land a juvenile contest at this meeting having won last year’s Albany Stakes with Dandalla.
Sky Bet Head of Sports PR Michael Shinners said: "He's our biggest loser in the book today. He was 28/1 from 50s last night after early interest and the momentum has continued. Nick Bradley's appearance on the Nick Luck Podcast, when he labelled him a 'monster' got punters going again and he's still being backed."
Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: “Kaboo has yet to exhibit his talents in public, but given the huge support we’ve seen for him from 100/1 into 15/2 at a prestigious meeting like Royal Ascot it has to be assumed that he has an abundance of ability and has been catching pigeons on the Middleham gallops.”
