Hong Kong sprint horse racing

I've got some money sitting on Scenic Blast. We'll see how she goes!

This comes from Sportingbet:

All Silent has been backed into outright favourite for the Hong Kong Sprint after a string of big bets were placed on the Graeme Begg trained gelding at Sportingbet Australia.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said All Silent had been backed from $5.50 to $4.60 this week and he is now a clear favourite ahead of Sacred Kingdom at $5.00.

“All Silent has clearly been the best backed horse this week with bets of $10,000, $5000 and $4000 struck in the past 24 hours,” Sullivan said.

“His form before leaving Australia was dominant and punters are backing him to reproduce it in Hong Kong which would see him take a power of beating.”

Sullivan said there had also been good support for West Australian galloper Scenic Blast while Apache Cat had been a little easy.

“Scenic Blast has been backed from $7.00 to $6.00 this week as well with one bet of $10,000 struck on him as well,” he said.

“Apache Cat has been $8.00 out to $9.50 at this stage but he does have a cult following and I would expect to see support come for him before the race.”

All Silent is also an even money favourite in Sportingbet’s best of the Aussies market ahead of Scenic Blast at $3.00 and Apache Cat at $3.70.

“All Silent has been the only one punters have wanted in that market and he has also been very well supported in the head to heads against the other two where is obviously a clear favourite,” Sullivan said.
