Carlton House

Carlton House is one of the leading contenders to win the Epsom Derby and one of the most exciting horses currently running in flat races. This three-year-old Bay Colt is trained by Sir Michael Stoute who doesn't make a habit of raising bad horses and is owned by Her Majesty The Queen.

Carlton House is only just outside the favourites for Epsom Derby Betting because the animal has only run in two races. The results in these races produced a win and a second place finish. Any horse with very little career history to go on can be difficult to judge unless the performances have been spectacular.

Carlton House Betting

Carlton House betting is best approached with a pinch of caution. Carlton House is in and around some very gifted horses in the Sports Betting market for the Epsom Derby. The debut for the horse came over eight furlongs at Salisbury on September 29 2010.



Carlton House betting during this debut race was popular due to the reputation that Stoute carried around. This pushed the horse into a starting price of 6/1 and a second place finish produced a good return for all each way backers.

An each way free bet or high stake bet is the best way to go with this horse. If the two current clear favourites for the race get out ahead early, then it could be difficult for Carlton House to pull them back in but there is no reason why the horse cannot finish at least fourth.

Advantages of Backing Carlton House

There are a few advantages of backing Carlton House in the Epsom Derby. The current Horse Racing Betting market is being dominated by Frankel and World Domination which means all of the pressure is off of this horse and regular jockey RL Moore.

One of the main advantages of backing Carlton House is that the two good results from the horse so far have come from different positions. The second place came when the horse was pushed forward through the field and the win at Newbury over eight furlongs in October last year came when the horse led from the front.



Stoute is one of the main advantages for backing Carlton House. The respected and experienced trainer has trained dozens of horses like this in the past. Carlton House does not have a vast experience of racing but Stoute will ensure the animal is in the best possible shape for the best possible result.

Odds for Carlton House

The current odds for Carlton House for Epsom Derby betting 2011 are a little on the conservative side with a best price of 6/1 in most places. This is just a couple of points longer than Frankel and World Domination but shows there is a lot of money going on the horse.

These odds for Carlton House may drift a little longer in the near future as the market changes before the big race.
