Punters support the Warrior in Victoria Derby

Here's the latest Victoria Derby market information from Sportingbet:

Punters are beginning to swarm for Derby favourite Shamoline Warrior with some huge bets struck on the Mark Kavanagh trained colt.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Shamoline Warrior had been a little soft until Thursday but punters have stepped into the $3.30 about him in a big way.

“One client has had $30,000 on him amongst a string of big bets placed in the last 24 hours,” Sullivan said.

“His win last start was outstanding and it is no surprise to see punters stepping in now.”

Sullivan said Rockferry remained his worst result after some big bets were placed on the Danny O’Brien trained colt at big odds in the pre post betting.

“Rockferry is still our worst result at the moment after we took some huge bets including one to win $400,000 at $26 some weeks ago,” Sullivan said.

“However, if the money keeps coming for the Shamoline Warrior like it has in the last 24 hours, they will be as nasty as each other.”
