Queen Joni Tops Derby Betting

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.
