Farhh Odds to Win 2012 Eclipse Stakes at 3-1, Co-Favorite With Nathaniel

Despite early favorite So You Think being scratched from this weekend’s Eclipse Stakes 2012, the new favorite Farhh had his odds slashed only a point at Sportsbook and now sits at 3/1.  Those are the same odds as Nathaniel, making both horses co-favorites to win this big race. 

Oddly enough it was Crackerjack King at 9/1 odds that was getting the most action of any other Eclipse Stakes contender, albeit around one percentage more than Farhh. 

Sporting Life provided this analysis:

Last year's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Nathaniel is another top-class candidate, even though he hasn't had a run this year, while Bonfire was sixth in the Epsom Derby and won the Dante over this trip earlier. Cityscape had City Style back in third when winning the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free in March but it's just possible that CRACKERJACK KING has been underestimated. He's joined Marco Botti since beating the normally consistent Sri Putra more than 10 lengths when easily landing a Group 1 at Capannelle in May. Last year's German Derby winner Waldpark was also well beaten so the form has a solid look about it and he should start at decent odds in this company.
