Saturday, 14 July 2012: Prepost favourite Bated Breath has been withdrawn from tonight's July Cup at Newmarket, leaving Australian stars Ortensia and Sepoy well in contention to claim the Group One sprint.
Unfortunately the weather is against the Australian pair with a very soft track not ideal for either horse.
With the rain continuing
Bated Breath 
was withdrawn due to the track conditions.
Proven G1 winner
Society Rock 
is the new favourite ahead of Golden Slipper Stakes winner
Sepoy 
, now racing in the Godolphin colours in Europe, with
Ortensia 
next in the betting.
