IT'S A KNOCKOUT
Bookies make Tyson Fury’s first horse a no-hoper on debut putting her in at 100-1… with Gypsy King to watch in person
They're hardly ever wrong with the price...
BOOKIES don't think Tyson Fury's horse has a hope of landing a knockout blow on debut - making her the 100-1 outsider.
Sun Racing told you the Gypsy King is to be at Newmarket in person on Friday to see two-year-old filly Big Gypsy King run for the first time.

Trained by former jockey Darryll Holland, Neil Callan has the ride in the 5.45pm race over a mile.

And in fairness it looks a tough order, with former champion trainer and jockey Charlie Appleby and Will Buick combining to head the market with Godolphin's 9-4 Arabian Poet.
Powerhouse stable John & Thady Gosden field 5-2 second-fav Vecu while legendary Irish handler Aidan O'Brien sends over 3-1 Scandinavia.
The big names keep on coming with the likes of Richard Hannon, Ralph Beckett and Archie Watson also fielding runners.
But all eyes will be on former heavyweight champ Fury's runner.
And, despite what bookies think, she may just outrun her odds.
By former German Derby winner Sea The Moon, she should love the mile trip.
Sea The Moon, whose sire was the all-conquering Sea The Stars, has fathered four Group 1 winners and his two-year-olds can hit the ground running.

Oleksandr Usyk in shock career switch… as boxing champ reveals private DMs with Tyson Fury ahead of rematch
"Traditionally, horses have been a big part of Tyson’s family.
"It’s brilliant for the sport to have a global superstar like him involved. I was introduced to Tyson’s manager Spencer Brown, and things just went from there.
"I'm really pleased Tyson is now part of the team at Harraton Court Stables."
Fury has yet to pop his head through the doors at Holland's stable in Exning.
However, the now retired Group 1-winning rider has seen his high profile owner in action after being whisked away to Saudi Arabia to watch his heavyweight title bout with Oleksandr Usyk back in May.
Holland added: "They invited me out to Saudi Arabia for Tyson's fight against Usyk.
"Where I was sitting you could hear the sounds of the punches. It was a great atmosphere.
"Tyson hasn't been down to the yard, but I've been sending his team video updates and I've said hello to him when he has been in the car with Spencer.

"They are very busy people, but they wanted to come and see the horse run and, thankfully, it has worked out as Tyson will soon be getting ready for his rematch with Usyk in Saudi Arabia.
"Hopefully if Big Gypsy King does well Tyson might get a few more."
