JFK loses Derby favourite tag

John F Kennedy lost his place as favourite for the Investec Derby after finishing a well-beaten last of three on his seasonal debut at Leopardstown.

There was a major shake up in the betting for Epsom Classic, with the Aidan O’Brien-trained colt being replaced as market leader by his stablemate Ol’ Man River.

The latter was promoted to head of the market at 6-1 with BetVictor as John F Kennedy was eased out to 7-1 from 7-2 after finishing last of three behind race-fit Success Days (10-1) in the P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes.
