Juddmonte International Stakes Favourites Runners & Form

A mouth-watering field is set to assemble for the 2024 Juddmonte International Stakes and the star of the show is set to be Aidan O’Brien’s City Of Troy, who could head line up at York for this event. A stunning winner of the Derby at Epsom earlier in the season, the Ballydoyle raider then went on to produce a workmanlike performance in the Coral-Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park and he’s going to bid for a third Group 1 win on the bounce.

His stablemate and another former Derby winner in the shape of Auguste Rodin is another prominent figure in the latest betting and he’s another class act, while mightily-impressive Dante Stakes winner Economics missed the Derby, but could be another that adds significant depth to the three-year-old challenge in this race.

Betting Strategies for the Juddmonte International Stakes

With it being a Group 1 race, the Juddmonte International Stakes can often see a pretty small field go to post and it can often be a race that sees some short-priced favourites line up. Often attracting the Derby winner and some other top notch three-year-olds, it also welcomes some proven older horses, so punters’ betting strategy could determine whether they want to stick with the younger horses or opt for experience.

Each Way

In the last ten years there has only been three runnings of the Juddmonte International Stakes that has seen a field of eight runners or more, so some would argue it’s not an each-way punting race. Add into that the fact that there’s often a warm favourite then it’s a race that could be worth avoiding from an each-way perspective.

Non Runner No Bet

With ante-post betting available for this event well in advance then some bookmakers could well offer Non Runner No Bet, so if your selection doesn’t run you get your money back. However, this is rare, so it’s likely that the NRNB concession is available.

Forecast Betting

With five of the last 10 winners being the favourite then there’s more value available in the forecast market and the Juddmonte International Stakes is the ideal chance to place a forecast bet. Needing to pick out the first two home in the correct order, it’s a way of enhancing your winnings and including the favourite in your bet.

Without the Favourite

Many short-priced favourites have cruised to victory in this race, so the Without The Favourite market can often prove eye-catching to man. Simply taking out the favourite from the market, the bookmakers will provide another book and there could be more value available, and it means if your selection finishes second to the favourite then you win!
