Emperor overthrown by Teofilo

Teofilo shot to the head of the betting for the Stan James 2000 Guineas following a hugely impressive defeat of Holy Roman Emperor in the Laing O’Rourke National Stakes at the Curragh yesterday.

Jim Bolger’s unbeaten colt extended his winning sequence to four under Kevin Manning in the Group One feature, with Ladbrokes cutting his price for the Newmarket Classic to 6-1 market leader from 14-1. Holy Roman Emperor was pushed out to 10-1.

Paddy Power make him 8-1 for the Guineas, while William Hill were forced to go 6-1 after seeing plenty of interest at an initial 7-1. Boylesports were even more impressed at 4-1. The big-race sponsors are 13-2.
