Delegator overpriced to gain revenge over Master

It was a sadly rare thing for me this year but I called the 2000 Guineas at The Curragh spot on.

In a blog on setanta.com, I stated that Mastercraftsman was too big at 7-2 during the week of the race. He went off 6-4 and bolted up.

I was totally against Delegator on the ground, but it is all about the perceived value in racing and Brian Meehan's colt now seems long at 9-2 for the St James' Palace, with 'Master' no better than 5-4.

He is available at that 'non-runner no bet' - so that negates any concerns about the colt partaking. Meehan indeed has said that he runs pending suitable terrain.

In their two jousts this year, Delegator beat Masterscraftsman comfortably at Newmarket, before 'Master' trounced him and everything else in a Curragh bog.
