Rejoice fellow Salmons! An intriguing weekend's footy saw Salmon backers net a tidy 14 points courtesy of Birmingham City's relegation to the second tier.
Followers have every right to feel a little aggrieved that our other main antepost footy selection didn't land, with Arsenal snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by finishing 4th having been in the top 3 all season.
Onwards brothers and sisters, for the Salmon must never retreat. There are a handful of interesting races over the coming days, not least the return of Workforce this evening in the Brigadier Gerard. However, here at Salmon HQ we are happy to take Michael Stoute's word that he may need the run and although we expect the Derby winner to be victorious, we will not be getting involved.
Instead we are focusing on the renewal of the very race that Workforce so emphatically and audaciously won last year.
Amazingly The Derby is only 9 short days away, and we believe we've found the answer in a horse that will be familiar to Salmon fans.
Native Khan was second in The Guineas behind the irrepressible Frankel and at 12-1 looks by far the best option in a field we know relatively little about. Carlton House is a solid favourite but makes no appeal at 6-4, whilst Aiden O'Brien's horses could be anything. The other one that has positive vibes around it is Pour Moi, but with more than double the price on offer about Native Khan, we're happy to take on the French raider too.
Sister race to The Derby, The Investec Oaks, also has a market leader taking a big chunk out, and for some, Blue Bunting would represent reasonable value at 2-1.
We’ve come down on the side of Zain Al Boldan however, who looked mighty impressive last time out and could improve further.
Get your bets on now and you will get Best Odds Guaranteed from Paddy Power, who are joint best priced on both animals as the market stands.
