BOOKIES have slashed the price of an Aidan O’Brien Royal Ascot runner – amid huge fears over his legendary stablemate.
Aidan O’Brien had ante-post backers in a tizz after he gave a worrying update on Kyprios following his Saval Beg victory last Friday.
The Ballydoyle boss confirmed everything was ‘100 per cent’ the next day, though, following scans.
The superstar stayer has swept all before him and was gunning for a third straight Gold Cup.
But that looks it could be up in smoke now after stablemate Illinois was obliterated from 6-1 into 9-4 for the same race.
Kyprios saw his own price go from 10-11 right out to 6-4.
Coral’s David Stevens said: “Although Kyprios was given the all clear following his recent injury scare, and does remain favourite for a third Gold Cup win, his stablemate Illinois has been all the rage for the Ascot contest, and his price has collapsed from 6-1 to 9-4 in a matter of hours.”;;
