Queen Joni has emerged as the new favourite for the Derby, surpassing her kennelmate King Memphis in the betting odds. While both are generally listed as 16/1 joint favourites, AK Bets has adjusted King Memphis's odds to 18/1.
It's been 45 years since a bitch, Sarahs Bunny, claimed the Derby title. In fact, only three bitches have won the event since it began in 1927. According to our records, the Kent-bred brindle Queen Joni might be the first bitch ever to top the ante-post betting lists.
