New Approach 9-1 Favourite For 2,000 Guineas On Betfair Hopefully comparisons with his former stablemate Teofilo won't extend to him missing next year's Classics, too.That is what Betfair punters who have made New Approach 9-1 favourite for next year's 2,000 Guineas, after a three-length Futurity Stakes win at The Curragh on Saturday, will be hoping anyway. New Approach was introduced into the Betfair market after his successful debut on July 15, and he was immediately supported at 33-1. It has been all one way trading traffic since then as comparisons with Teofilo and his rise up the juvenile pecking order have continued.Some punters took 13-2 in the immediate aftermath of his impressive victory on Saturday ? the lowest price taken about any of the 2,000 Guineas hopefuls on the exchange ? before settling at 9-1.Impressive Goodwood winner Rio De La Plata is a 10-1 chance along with Prix Morny victor Myboycharlie, with the unbeaten July Stakes scorer Winker Watson, owned by the Comic Strip Heroes syndicate which features Betfair co-founders Andrew Black and Ed Wray, available at 12-1.Betfair spokesman Eoin Ryan said: 'Given his Betfair connections it would be nice to see Winker Watson trade as favourite but there is no doubt that New Approach looks a formidable juvenile at this stage and our punters marginally prefer him to Rio De La Plata and Myboycharlie at this stage.''To win the 2008 Stan James 2,000 Guineas ? Betfair bet: 9-1 New Approach, 10-1 Rio De La Plata, 10-1 Myboycharlie, 12-1 Winker Watson, 16-1 Henrythenavigator 18-1 Fast Company.Prices correct as at 2pm on August 27th.
