One punter with online bookmaker Sportsbet will turn a $5 investment into more than $8000 if Typhoon Tracy can win the Doncaster Mile on Saturday.
The punter had a seven-leg multi bet at the odds of $1676.34 on a combination of AFL and NRL matches last weekend. The final leg of the bet is for Typhoon Tracy to win the Doncaster.
Typhoon Tracy is unbeaten in her last five runs – four of those at Group 1 level – and goes into the race as the $3 favourite with Sportsbet.
“We often get excited by the bigger bets, but spare a thought for this $5 punter who stands to win a motza if Typhoon Tracy can get across the line first on Saturday,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.
“She is certainly the one to beat and I don’t think she’ll be too disadvantaged by her wide barrier (14).” Read more of this article »

Zabrasive ($3.00) is set for the 2010 AJC Australian Derby and is the clear pick. IASbet said he has been well backed and they are keeping him very safe. Zabrasive has got the Zabeel breeding on his side, while Rock Classic ($4.00 out to $4.40) is an easing second favourite but does have the Bart factor. Keep The Peace ($12.00 into $9.00) is the unknown quantity, is lightly weighted and has a very impressive record from across the ditch.
We are happy to lay Shoot Out (with odds of $6.50). He failed to reproduce his barnstorming finish in the Randwick Guineas at Rosehill last time in and we think he is a risk at the 2400m.
IASbet is offering a Money Back Special on Rock Classic, a 100% Reload bonus on the Chairman’s Handicap and a cracking 25 Multi boost for the AJC Derby. Read more of this article »

Following today’s barrier draw, IASbet’s Gerard Twomey says Crystal Lily is the horse to beat in the 2010 Golden Slipper.
“Crystal Lily ($6.00 into $5.00) is my pick for the Slipper,” said IASbet’s Gerard Twomey. “She’s drawn perfectly and should be able to sit in behind the speed. She’s a strong filly that will have plenty in hand at the finish and is the one to beat.”
Twomey said Military Rose ($3.60) is a deserved favourite but may have a chink in his armor. Read more of this article »

The decisions by Peter Moody and Gai Waterhouse to bypass this year’s Coolmore Classic with their respective stars Typhoon Tracy and More Joyous, has now made the Group One event an extremely challenging one for punters. In a very even race Moody may still take out the event with his other filly Set For Fame.
The filly has drawn wide but might repeat what Typhoon Tracy did in the race last year and get across easily and sit in behind Gold Water who should lead.
In early markets Lady Lynette (6.00) and Palacio De Cristal (8.50) have shortened and while Lady Lynette has drawn well, the tempo of the race might not suit Palacio De Cristal. Read more of this article »

Well we’ve had to wait another week to see if Denman is the best colt in Australia when he finally takes his place in Saturday’s Group One Australian Guineas at Flemington. Despite all of the drama, punters haven’t been shaken and he’s still the hot pick at $1.75.
In the Australian Cup, Shocking will now take his place after originally being scratched last week, and in an open field the Mark Kavanagh trained galloper is solid in the market at $7.50. With his excellent record at Flemington of three starts for three wins including the Melbourne Cup, Shocking will be very competitive in what doesn’t appear to be the strongest of Australian Cups.
In Sydney, the Group One Randwick Guineas looks to be a very even race, with the consistent Shoot Out well supported at $3.60. On a great program, top Golden Slipper aspirants step out in the Skyline Stakes and the Sweet Embrace Stakes. Read more of this article »

Form analysts at IASbet believe that the Peter Snowden trained superstar Denman is vulnerable in Saturday’s Group One Australian Guineas and are prepared to take him on.
While other bookmakers and the TAB have him between $1.55 and $1.65, IASbet is willing and able to lay him at $1.80. “It’s not a foregone conclusion, there is rain forecast and the race may well be set up for horses to run over him.
I expect Denman to lead from his outside barrier and it may not be an advantage to be on the rail” said IASBet’s John Dow. The son of Lonhro has won nine of his last ten with his only defeat being at the same distance in the Caulfield Guineas. “I think history is about to repeat itself.” said Dow.

A dominant heat win on Saturday night and now the perfect inside draw has seen Washakie shorten dramatically for Saturday night’s 2010 Inter Dominion Final with leading online bookmaker Sportsbet.
The star New Zealander firmed from $6.00 in to $4.60 with sentimental favourite Blacks A Fake also firming from $4.20 to $4.00 after drawing barrier three.
“Washakie has the gate speed to hold the front if challenged by Blacks A Fake, that’s why we are still betting $4.00 for “Blackie”. I think he’ll he have to do too much work” said Sportsbet’s Matthew Campbell. Read more of this article »

Betting for the Group 1 William Reid Stakes has been turned on its head following the scratching of hot favourite Black Caviar reports IASbet John Hartnett.
“It’s a wide open race now without the champion filly,” said Hartnett. “The three place getters of the Lightning Stakes are now the top three in the market in Nicconi ($5.50 into $3.20), Wanted ($6.50 into $3.40), and Shellscrape ($11.00 into $4.50).”
“I think Shellscrape finds his right race here. He hasn’t raced at the Valley, although he is very suited to the 1200m and he likes the cut out of the ground.” Read more of this article »

As the Spring Carnival draws to an end, there is one race day left that should not go unnoticed. There will be several top-class races at Sandown this Saturday, and the Group 2 Sandown Guineas, run over 1600m, is no exception. A handicapped race for 3 year olds, the Guineas has long been known as the race for those too weak to win at Flemington, but you can be sure that only quality horses make it into this race. Some quality horses to have won in the past include King Ivor, Binding, Schilling and Caymans.
This year’s horses include Kidnapped, who has won at Group level before. While he may not be quite to the standard of some other 3 year olds, like those who raced in the Victoria Derby, he is a classy gelding who might progress to Group 1 level next year. His form has been good; he won the Group 3 Inglis Carbine Club Stakes at Flemington on Derby Day. Kidnapped is favourite with Betfair at $2.75
Turf Express ($12.00) has also won at Flemington last start, in the listed Myer Spring Fashion Stakes last week. The Gai Waterhouse-trained colt is used to life in Sydney, but his win at Flemington proves he can race here as well. This will be his first Group race, and he has not won at this distance before, but he is still a chance. Read more of this article »
