Punters who think mighty mare Black Caviar can be beaten in Saturday’s Newmarket Handicap can receive double the odds on every other horse in the race with Sportsbet.
This means Black Caviar’s nearest rival in betting, Hay List, is paying a whopping $23 with Sportsbet!
Black Caviar (who is more inviting as the real black caviar pictured right) is aiming to keep her unbeaten record intact and priced at just $1.25.
“We think Black Caviar is just about unbeatable in the Newmarket, so much so that we’re offering double the odds on every other horse in the race,” said Sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.
“Anyone who thinks she can be beaten is more than welcome to take her on.
“She mightn’t have it all her own way with the weight swing from the Lightning Stakes but we believe she’s more than up to the task.”

Punters who backed sentimental favourite Zipping in Saturday’s Australian Cup with online bookmaker sportsbet have received their money back after he was scratched a day before final nominations were accepted.
Generally, punters betting in “all in” markets lose their wager if their horse does not make the final field, meaning those who backed Zipping with any other betting outlet have lost their cash.
“There’s no doubt Zipping is the people’s champ and we’re happy to refund bets on him,” said sportsbet’s Haydn Lane.
Zipping was paying $5.50 for the Australian Cup before his scratching, which now sees Heart Of Dreams firm from $5.00 into $4.20.
More than $10,000 was refunded on Zipping, including one punter who had placed $1500 on the nine-year-old star at $7.

Preview
The 2010 AFL season is yet to kick off and we already have an epic on our hands for the NAB Cup grand final.
If this game is half as good as the 2009 preliminary final against the two sides (where St Kilda went onto win by 7 points) we will be in for a cracker.
Both teams have played good footy (when needed) leading into the final showing off some new talent along the way which could be the telling part of Saturday nights game.
For the Saints Rhys Stanley and Ben McEvoy have inspired in the last few weeks and both have been named to play in the grand final. Their height and speed played a welcome part in last weeks 70 point dismantling of Fremantle.
