Too Darn Hot Gets 5/4 As Firm Favorite To Take Win
The Glorious Goodwood always has something for everyone and this year the veracious Sussex Stakes odds highlight just how much attention will be on this mile-long race for horses over three years. The bookies like Bet365, one of the best online sportsbook sites in the UK, seem to be giving Too Darn Hot the nod, but after the course has baked in this latest heatwave the going could be very hard going and you might want to take a look at some of the other betting chances.
Although first run in 1841 for the first few decades it was a tad intermittent and it is only over the last century or so that it has become one of the most important milers on the British racing calendar. The veracious Sussex Stakes odds you can get at the bookies are heating up even as Too Darn Hot takes up position as favourite at 5/4, and whilst the weather will have calmed down before the crowds throng to the course, the going might not be quite what John Gosden needs.
With things firm under-hoof there’s plenty of room for Too Darn Hot to be challenged by any number of horses in this race and one only need look at the complete outsiders’ prices to get an inkling of just how close this one could be come the finish. Happen has no chance whatsoever but in the veracious Sussex Stakes odds right now gets just 40/1 which might not be worth taking advantage of UK gambling laws to actually back, but is hugely shorter than it really ought to be.
Phoenix Of Spain Could Make Best Of The Conditions
When Matterhorn, I Can Fly, Dream Castleand Just Wonderful are all getting 33/1 in a race featuring at least a half dozen horses more capable, and with better records, than any of them, it’s manifest the bookies are hedging their bets. Accidental Agent gets 25/1 but so does Hey Gaman and Happy Power, and they could well have been decent each-way wagers among the veracious Sussex Stakes odds if it weren’t for Advertise getting 20/1 ahead of them. A far better wager.

The veracious Sussex Stakes odds the bookies are punting out only really get vicious below that price point. Skardu and Never No More look entirely tempting at 16/1, close up behind the likes of Le Brivido and Zabeel Prince both of which get 14/1. They’re not that far back on Veracious which gets a massively alluring 12/1 and could be the best bet on sports in the UK at the festival. Even if Romanised gets 10/1 ahead of it, it’s still the best each-way wager on the day.

Veracious Sussex Stakes Odds 12/1 At Bet365
For on-the-nose action among these veracious Sussex Stakes odds Lord Glitters, last year’s winner, is back and hovering around 8/1, pipped by late arrival King Of Comedy which gets 7/1, possibly in reaction to the likely conditions. Goodwood will get some rain on the weekend, but that’ll do little to temper the course much, and perhaps that’s why the favourite, Too Darn Hot, finds itself possibly under threat from Circus Maximus which still needs to be supplemented.

Should it run, Circus Maximus will be garnering a price of about 7/2 at the bookies like Bet365, one of the best online betting sites in the UK, which is far more attractive than the 5/4 odds on Too Darn Hot. However, if you want a proper wager on-the-nose amid those veracious Sussex Stakes odds, it’s Phoenix Of Spain at 5/1 that will be crying out for a speculative punt, well, unless you believe Lord Glitters can do it twice in a row, something only achieved by Frankel.
