Bookmakers remove Emperor from Guineas betting

Teofilo has been cut all round for the Stan James 2000 Guineas by bookmakers today, with all the major firms removing Holy Roman Emperor from their ante-post markets on the Newmarket Classic.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained Holy Roman Emperor had been second-favourite to Jim Bolger’s Teofilo, with the pair having clashed twice, the latest in a titanic battle for the Dewhurst at Newmarket in October.
