Latest 1000 Guineas 2017 Betting Odds: Rhododendron The Favorite

Gambling911.com has your 1000 Guineas betting odds for this weekend.

Unlike this weekend’s Kentucky Derby, the 1000 Guineas has a clear cut odds-on favorite in Rhododendron. 

The Sporting Life Preview:

Rhododendron beat Hydrangea and Urban Fox in the Fillies’ Mile here in October and is entered in all the top races this year. But she was beaten by Intricately and Hydrangea in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh earlier and her breeding is more about stamina than speed. Frankie will fancy his chances of a fourth 1000 Guineas victory on the unbeaten Daban as she appeared to have something in hand when beating Unforgetable Filly, Poet's Vanity and Kilmah in the Nell Gwyn here last month. Winter was beaten by Hydrangea at Leopardstown last month but is less exposed and it would be no surprise if those placings were reversed today. FAIR EVA easily beat Kilmah on her second start last summer having beaten a subsequent Group 3 and listed winner on debut. Things didn’t go to plan later but connections hold the Frankel filly in high regard and she will surely relish this step up to a mile despite being out of a champion sprinter. Queen Kindly could also run well at bigger odds after missing the break at Newbury two weeks ago.
