Big bets for Offloaded in Alistair Clark Stakes

It's always nice to know where the money's going ...

PUNTERS UNLOAD ON OFFLOADED

All the talk may have centered around Extra Zero and Linton but punters have decided Lohnro gelding Offhanded is the horse to beat in tomorrow’s Alistair Clark Stakes at Moonee Valley.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Darley galloper had been backed in from $4.60 to $4.00 in the space of an hour.

“The phones rang hot on Friday morning with punters wanting to back the Sydney visitor,” said Sullivan.

“Offhanded hit the line hard last time ay Randwick and has an outstanding record with the sting out of the ground.”

Sullivan said he would not be surprised to see Offhanded firm into favouritism with doubts over his two major challengers.

“Linton was impressive at Cranbourne but this is a fair step up from maiden company, while Extra Zero has shown plenty but has an ordinary strike rate.”

“I would not be surprised in the least if the money doesn’t ease up for Offhanded.”
