Bernardini rockets to Classic favouritism

Bernardini is now the 11-8 favourite for the Breeders’ Cup Classic following his impressive success in the Grade One Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont.

Stan James cut his price from 2-1 after the Preakness Stakes winner extended his unbeaten run to six as he accounted for Wanderlin Boy by six and three-quarter lengths, while Aidan O’Brien’s Dylan Thomas finished a tailed-off last.
