2024 Juddmonte International Stakes Preview

City Of Troy towers above the rest of the field in the 2024 Juddmonte International. After an indifferent start to the season in the 2,000 Guineas he found his rhythm over middle distance Group 1s, winning the Epsom Derby and Eclipse Stakes. At 11/8 he offers reasonable value.

Calandagan is priced as his main adversary. He’s won two French Group 3s this season, and appears to be a genuine stayer, winning the Group 2 King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in June by 6 lengths. He does pose a threat to City Of Troy and offers great each-way value at 7/1.

The best value bet in this field is Bluestocking. He was a winner in the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes in Ireland in June, and took second place in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July. Given that 1 mile 2 furlongs is his preferred distance, he looks worth a punt a 10/1.

About the International Stakes

The International Stakes was first raced in 1972, and its inaugural running was notable for the fact that it produced the only defeat in the career of legendary racehorse, Brigadier Gerard. The International Stakes was first sponsored by Juddmonte Garms starting in 1989. This association has lasted so long that the race is now familiar to racing fans as the Juddmonte International.

International Stakes Betting

The International Stakes attracts the cream of racing talent trained over 1 mile 2 furlongs. As such it is no surprise to see that the favourite regularly win this race, and that winners are only rarely priced over 5/1. As such this is one of the races where the market will do a good job at isolating contenders. Best value will come from backing horses with potential to place each-way, focusing on those priced under 10/1.
