Golden Rules was the subject of a huge Northumberland Plate gamble on Friday after his owner urged punters to “Get on it, he’ll win”.
The odds of the stayer from the little known Monmouthshire yard of Deborah Faulkner were slashed by all the major firms with William Hill making him 7-2 favourite.
“Punters appear to have found the golden rule well in advance of Saturday’s Northumberland Plate, with the Deborah Faulkner-trained Golden Rules now heading the market following sustained support," said William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps.
