SWIFT ALLIANCE SCRATCHING GOOD NEWS FOR LATIN NEWS BACKERS
Punters who’ve backed Latin News to win the Stradbroke will be buoyed by the news that Swift Alliance has been scratched giving the Bart Cummings trained colt a start in the race.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michal Sullivan said Latin News was well supported yesterday.
“He was backed in from $11 to $8.50 before the scratching with bets including one of $5000,” said Sullivan.
“He is now into $7.00 second favouritism and we’re expecting more support following his luckless run last week.”

Stradbroke Handicap update
PUNTERS KEEN ON KAVANAGH'S SECOND STRADBROKE STRING
QTC Cup winner Catapulted has been heavily backed for the Stradbroke shortening from $11 to $9.00 in the past 24 hours at Sportingbet Australia.
The Mark Kavanagh trained gelding was already a bad result for bookies after he was heavily backed at big odds before he even arrived in Queensland.
“Whobegotyou might be a dominant favourite but it is Kav’s other runner that punters have settled on this week,” said Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan.
“We took two bets to take out $20,000 and that was the start of an avalanche of money for him.
“He was already a bad result for us after we took some big bets at $26 following his big win at Flemington in mid May.”
Sullivan said there had been money for a number of horses at big odds in what was a very open Stradbroke away from Whobegotyou.
“Latin News has shortened from $11 to $8.50 and he looks a real chance if he can get a run,” Sullivan said.
“There has also been good money for roughies with bets to win $30,000 and $20,000 struck on Shellscrape at $41 and good money for Black Piranha and Mic Mac also.”
Catapulted must defy history to win the Stradbroke as no QTC Cup winner has backed up to win the race the following week.

Queensland Derby odds
There is at times comfort in knowing that somebody stands to lose more than we do if our pick crumbles. But Kutchinsky does look like a good thing.
RACING: $40,000 BET ON KUTCHINSKY
Derby favourite Kutchinsky has shortened again after some massive bets were struck on the Tony Noonan trained gelding at Sportingbet Australia.
The Grand Prix winner has shortened from $3.00 to $2.70 since Friday and Sportingbet CEO Michael Sullivan said he had been the only one punters had wanted to back.
“We took a bet of $40,000 at $3.00 and that started a rush of money with punters snapping up the $2.80 and $2.70 as well,” Sullivan said.
“He isn’t a horse that will be too adversely affected by a bad barrier either as he will get back anyway so I can only see him continuing to shorten until Saturday.”
Sullivan said some Sportingbet punters were sitting pretty after snapping up $16 about Kutchinsky early in May.
“We took one bet of $30,000 to $2000 and another to win $10,000 so those punters would be thrilled with the price they secured,” he said.
New Zealander The Hombre is on the second line of betting at Sportingbet at $5.00 ahead of the Bart Cummings trained Landlord at $5.50 and Fieldmaster at $6.00.

Sydney Cup update
After its last run, it's difficult to see how Precedence can be favourite. Jessicabeel is a good price for mine.
MOATIZE TO PROVIDE A SPARK FOR BART
Sportingbet Australia punters think Moatize can give master trainer Bart Cummings a spark up by taking Saturday’s Sydney Cup at Randwick.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the five year old gelding had been well supported in betting.
“ We bet as much as $16 about Moatize early with one punter getting on to win over $20,000,” said Sullivan.
“And he’s been $11 into $8.50 since we put up odds on the final field with another getting on to win $20,000.
“Bart has followed the tried and trusted route of getting miles into Moatize’s legs and the JRA Plate run suggests he’s right on target for the Cup.”
Stablemate Precedence is a $6.60 favourite in a wide open Sydney Cup.

James Boag Galaxy update
Sorry I don't have much to say on this one, but thought it worth sending through for those who want the latest market movements:
GOOD BACKING FOR GALAXY ROUGHIES
Punters are struggling to sort out tomorrow’s Galaxy with good money for several horses at Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said while favourite Ortensia had been heavily backed there was also good money for De Lightning Ridge and roughies Motspur and Mount Verde.
“Ortensia got crunched in from $4.60 to $3.70 as soon as we started betting on the event but there’s been a fair bit of money to say the other three can upset her,” said Sullivan.
“De Lightning Ridge has attracted enough money to have her odds slashed from $8.00 to $7.50, Mount Verde is in from $81 to $71 with one punter on to collect over $50,000 and Motspur has been the subject of a good plunge which has seen the price plummet from $41 to $17.
Sullivan said there was no money for Swift Alliance which has drifted from $6 to $7 despite a strong win in the Star Kingdom.
“We’re struggling to write a ticket on Swift Alliance despite one of the best strike rates in the field.”
“We’re sure we’d lay him if the race was at Rosehill but he has been beaten a couple of times here and in this type of company.”

Doncaster Mile update
It's worth repeating: Many consider Typhoon Tracy to be the best mare in the country right now. There's not many which will beat her. Enough said.
RANGIRANGDOO AND PALACIO DE CRISTAL ATTRACT EARLY DONCASTER BETS
Rangirangdoo and Palacio De Cristal have been the subject of good early bets at Sportingbet Australia since Tuesday’s Doncaster barrier draw.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said both gallopers had been the early firmers.
Rangirangdoo has firmed from $7.00 to $5.50 with bets including one of $6600 at $7.00, while Palacio De Cristal is in from $13 to $12 with bets including one of $3000 at the $13.00,” said Sullivan.
“Punters seem to be looking for the swoopers with wide draws for the likes of Theseo and Typhoon Tracy looking to ensure a good tempo.”
Typhoon Tracy retains Doncaster favouritism at $3.20 with Rangirandoo now a $5.50 second favourite ahead of Danleigh at $6.00.

Typhoon Tracy in Doncaster Mile
According to some well-versed racing writers I've spoken to over the past couple of weeks, Typhoon Tracy is the best mare in Australia right now.
This is one instance where a futures bet might pay dividends. She'll be shorter in the ring than the current $3.20, one would imagine.
RACING: BIG MONEY ALREADY ARRIVING FOR TYPHOON TRACY
The big money is already arriving for Typhoon Tracy to take Saturday’s Doncaster with the champion mare shortening from $3.70 to $3.20 at Sportingbet Australia.
The Peter Moody trained mare has been the subject of some massive wagers and Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said she was clearly his worst result.
“We took a bet of $17,000 at $3.70 on the weekend which is a collect of over $60,000 and there had been plenty of support before that including a bet of $70,000 to $5000 way back in February,” Sullivan said.
“The $15 that punter secured certainly looks great value now as punters have taken $3.50 and $3.30 for good bets in the last 24 hours.
“If she draws well, I would say she will start even shorter and she does look terribly hard to beat.”
The Chris Waller trained pair, Danleigh and Rangirangdoo, are next in the market at $6.00 and $6.50 respectively.
“Both Danleigh and Rangirangdoo have been a little easy this week and I will certainly be looking to lay them before Saturday,” Sullivan said.
“The other interesting runner is of course Brilliant Light who has come from nowhere this preparation and is now $16 after we took a bet to win $100,000 at $401 shortly after markets were posted.”

Sires Produce update
The bookies might be talking it up, but I still like More Strawberries, despite being perhaps a little under the odds.
PUNTERS SEARCH FOR SIRES PRODUCE VALUE
Punters are betting around the Golden Slipper form of More Strawberries and Hinchinbrook in the Sires Produce with big money coming for the likes of Toorak Toff, Hidden Kisses and Skorost at Sportingbet Australia.
Toorak Toff’s odds have been slashed from $23 in opening markets to $9.00 while Hidden Kisses has been $51 to $23 and Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the favourites had been friendless.
“We have taken some big bets on some of the roughies and can’t write the favourites names,” Sullivan said.
“More Strawberries has been $2.50 to $2.70 while Hinchinbrook has been $3.20 to $3.50 and I am desperate to take them both on.
“Both horses are racing for the third week in a row which is a huge ask for two year olds and at these odds I think they are both a risk.”
Sullivan said punters had latched on to the fresh horses on the scene .
“We took a bet of $165,000 to $5000 each way on Hidden Kisses after there had already been good money at $51,” he said.
“One of the first bets we took was on Toorak Toff which was to take out $20,000 at $23 and more money came at $13 and $11.”

Sires Produce money for roughie
Aussiepunt has been following More Strawberries with plenty of interest. The horse has a great turn of foot and should be too good for this field, to break through for a maiden win.
But any tip which is at $26 is worth a dash!
MONEY FOR BRISBANE RAIDER IN SIRES PRODUCE
Brisbane raider Hidden Kisses has been backed in from $51 to $26 to win Saturday’s Sires Produce at Randwick.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Rob Heathcote trained filly had been the subject of a good early go.
“There has been plenty of early money about to say she can reproduce her strong win over 1400 metres last time out and we have slashed her quote in half since we opened the market.”
“The fancied More Strawberries and Hinchinbrook were both hot on Crystal Lily’s heels in the Slipper last week but they are both racing for a third week in a row and it may well be tailor made for a fresh horse on the scene.”
More Strawberries is currently the $2.50 favourite at Sportingbet ahead of Hinchinbrook at $3.20.

Australian Derby update
There are some big bets early. Follow the betting is the best course of action, particularly following Shoot Out's poor last up start:
KIWI FILLY BACKED FOR DERBY RAID
Promising NZ filly Keep The Peace has been backed from $14 to $10 to win the Australian Derby with one Sportingbet Australia punter backing her to win over $90,000.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the filly had also been well backed in Oaks markets with punters confident she can emulate the efforts of the Clarry Conners trained Research who won the double in 1989.
“As soon as we posted a final field Derby market a punter rang to have $7000 on Keep The Peace at $14,” said Sullivan.
“And with her already well backed for the Oaks it seems the Kiwis are planning a significant hit and run here.”
Zabrasive heads the Derby market at $3.20 ahead of Rock Classic at $4.00.

KIWI FILLY BACKED FOR DERBY RAID
Promising NZ filly Keep The Peace has been backed from $14 to $10 to win the Australian Derby with one Sportingbet Australia punter backing her to win over $90,000.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the filly had also been well backed in Oaks markets with punters confident she can emulate the efforts of the Clarry Conners trained Research who won the double in 1989.
“As soon as we posted a final field Derby market a punter rang to have $7000 on Keep The Peace at $14,” said Sullivan.
“And with her already well backed for the Oaks it seems the Kiwis are planning a significant hit and run here.”
Zabrasive heads the Derby market at $3.20 ahead of Rock Classic at $4.00.

BMW horse racing update
As readers of this blog will know, I'm not a big fan of futures betting. I think too many people take short odds too far out from the outcome. Consequently, their choice strikes injury, conditions change, form kicks in or out, lots of things can happen.
There is one situation when futures can work in a punter's favour, however, and that's when they spot a reasonable chance at long odds.
That's what has happened with the BMW. They see a reasonable chance of rain and take mud runners at 100-1. Sadly, the rest of us will now find the 20-1 a little short to worry about!
BIG MONEY FOR WET TRACKERS IN BMW
Punters have backed two long priced mudlarks for this Saturday’s BMW with big bets struck on both Harris Tweed and No Wine No Song at Sportingbet Australia.
Harris Tweed has been backed from $41 to $21 at Sportingbet while No Wine No Song has been the subject of a sustained move that has seen his price shorten up from $101 to $21 in the past week.
“We took bets of $44,000 to $1100 and $34,000 to $1000 each way on Harris Tweed this morning which certainly suggests he has done well since his last start second in New Zealand, “ Said Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan.
“We laid a bet of $20,000 to $200 each way on No Wine No Song last week and he gradually shortened up to $26 where we took a bet of $50,000 to $2000 each way this morning.
“Both horses have won on heavy tracks so I am sure the punters will be hoping the forecast rain arrives in Sydney this week.”
Theseo is the current $3.20 favourite at Sportingbet Australia ahead of Speed Gifted at $6 and Daffodil at $8.00.

Rosehill Guineas update
Let's just add to this little announcement that both Run for Naara and Hanks are very well priced for this race.
$25,000 BET FOR QUEENSLAND ACE IN GUINEAS SHOOT OUT
In form Queensland gelding, Shoot Out, has been heavily backed to continue his winning form in Saturday’s Rosehill Guineas with one punter investing $25,000 on him at Sportingbet Australia.
The John Wallace trained three year old is solid at $3.50 and Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said while Shoot Out would be hard to beat, there did look to be a few runners who would be helped by the step up to 2000 metres.
“Shoot Out has been very heavily backed all preparation with punters landing a plunge in the Royal Sovereign, launching again when he just missed in the Hobartville and backing up when he won the Randwick Guineas,” Sullivan said.
“This week looks like being no different with the $25,000 leading the charge but there have been plenty of other bets.
“There’s no doubt that Shoot Out looks the pick of the three year olds but he is on trial at this trip.
“Captain Sonador, Run For Naara and Hanks will all benefit from the extra trip and Rock Classic returns home after conquering Set For Fame and Denman in the Australian Guineas.”

Golden Slipper ... if the shoe fits, back it
Golden Slipper odds are up and down at a faster rate than a uni student on viagra.
As soon as there's a whisper, a race run and won, or something on the rumour mill, the fluctuations kick in.
Earlier in the week, I said the shortened odds on Military Rose were premature, given that a number of horses in the field still had some opportunities to prove themselves.
This means there will be plenty of fluctuation yet. One of those horses yet to run is Beneteau which was the subject of the below media release. But there are others, not the least of them Hinchinbrook which is set to run this weekend.
There is likely to be money for Masquerader and Crystal Lily will almost certainly shorten if and when nominated. Watching the market movements is an interesting spectator sport in its own.
BENETEAU BACK IN FAVOUR
Former Golden Slipper favourite Beneteau has been the heavily backed in the past 24 hours shortening from $16 to $11 at Sportingbet Australia.
Beneteau had been a $7.50 joint favourite for the Slipper before disappointing behind Hinchinbrook last start but Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said punters still thought he could win the big one.
“One punter backed him to win $40,000 while we also took bets to take out $15,000 and $10,000 this week, Sullivan said.
“He was a little disappointing last start when a raging favourite but he covered more ground than the early explorers and punters have forgiven that run.”
“He has been clearly been the best backed horse this week with the exception of Military Rose who is now a raging Slipper favourite.”
Military Rose is the $3.00 favourite at Sportingbet Australia ahead of Crystal Lily at $5.75 and Chance Bye at $8.50.
“Military Rose has been the one the punters have wanted all week with a bet of $100,000 leading the charge,” Sullivan said.
“Hinchinbrook is the other horse interesting punters and he could well be the big shortener if he impresses in the Pago Pago.”

Golden Slipper update
In an earlier post today, I expressed my views on the Golden Slipper field, saying any bet on the favourite would have to be carefully thought out, rather than driven by media hype, or the fact Military Rose was able to beat home Solar Charged at the weekend.
Well, if it's any indication, we'd hope that a $100,000 bet was carefully thought out:
GOLDEN SLIPPER: $100,000 BET ON MILITARY ROSE
Military Rose is set to start as one of the shortest priced Golden Slipper favourites in years after some enormous bets were placed on the Queensland filly at Sportingbet Australia following her win in the Reisling.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said punters have crashed her price into $3.00 with a string of bets on Saturday night and Sunday.
“We went back up at $3.40 on Saturday afternoon and immediately got claimed with a bet of $100,000,” Sullivan said.
“Since the Reisling, she has been the only horse punters have been interested in backing which isn’t surprising given how she dealt with a quality field which included former Slipper favourite, Solar Charged.”
“The way she won the Magic Millions her win on Saturday will ensure she starts a short priced favourite unless we see something special from Hinchinbrook or something else in the Pago Pago this weekend.”
Crystal Lily who isn’t nominated for the Slipper is on the second line of betting at $5.75 with Sportingbet ahead of fairytale filly Chance Bye at $8.50, with Hinchinbrook the first of the colts at $9.00.
“The three fillies are certainly the ones to beat at the moment but Hinchinbrook could be the big shortener if he wins well on Saturday,” Sullivan said.

Military Rose run fantastic
Military Rose has shot in more than 5 points with most bookies, and it was on the back of a very impressive run on Saturday.
But you'd swear the Golden Slipper was a two-horse race. If it was, it would seem almost certain that Military Rose has the measure of Solar Charged, and the odds would be warranted.
But now that the favourite has been backed so short, let's be sure to take a look at the other top chances in the field. Forget Star Witness, its run on Saturday was appalling.
Masquerader, however, had a fantastic run. And there are four or five other top chances likely to race this weekend.
My advice: Don't get caught up in the media hype, rather take a deep breath and look at each chance on its merit and form. Military Rose is a good horse and deserves to be the top chance, but 5 points is ridiculous.
MILITARY ROSE NEW SLIPPER FAVOURITE AS FANCY’S FLOP
Military Rose has stamped herself as a dominant Golden Slipper favourite after easily accounting for former favourite, Solar Charged, in the Riesling Stakes.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Magic Millions winning filly’s odds had been slashed too $3.40 and she looked a bullet proof type who would be very hard to beat in the Slipper.
“She is a clear favourite now with the second pick being Crystal Lily who isn’t even nominated yet,” Sullivan said.
“The fillies certainly look to have an edge this year with fairytale horse Chance Bye on the third line of betting.
“Hinchinbrook is the first of the colts and geldings at $9.00 alongside Todman winner Masquerader who is another not nominated at this stage.”
Sullivan said Solar Charged and Star Witness had been the big drifters in Slipper betting following disappointing runs.
“Solar Charged drifted from $4 to $11 and while you wouldn’t write her off, it is hard to see her turning the tables on Military Rose,” Sullivan said.
“Star Witness went from $6.50 to $17 and given he isn’t nominated, it would have to be unlikely for him to pay up now.”

Randwick Guineas update
Update from the bookmakers:
GUINEAS BACKING FOR SHOOT OUT AND MONTON
Sportingbet Australia punters are banking on the Hobartville Stakes quinella being repeated in tomorrow’s Randwick Guineas with strong money coming for Shoot Out and Monton.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Shoot Out’s odds had been trimmed from $4.00 to $3.50 with Monton’s quote almost halved from $17 to $9.
“The money says these two will again be fighting out a feature race,” said Sullivan.
“All the early money was for Shoot Out before punters stepped in to Monton in a big way.
“They snapped up the $17, came again at $13 and are still not afraid to take the $9 on offer now.”

Big bets on Solar Charged into Typhoon Tracy
I love stories about big bets:
PUNTER ON TO WIN $360,000 ON BOOM FILLY DOUBLE
One Sportingbet Australia punter stands to win himself $360,000 after outlaying $10,000 on a feature double featuring the two boom females of Australian racing .
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the punter had backed Solar Charged to win the Golden Slipper and Typhoon Tracy to salute in the Doncaster.
“It’s a good bet and I can think of worse horses that you’d want to be on in these races,” said Sullivan.
“Solar Charged brained some other good fillies in the Kindergarten and Typhoon Tracy has dominated in Melbourne and showed the mile is no problem.
“With Solar Charged now a $4.20 favourite for the Slipper and Typhoon Tracy at $7.00 for the Doncaster this punter has got himself some pretty good value.”
Sullivan said Solar Charged continued to be well backed in Golden Slipper betting with punters keen to get on at the $4.20.

“With Solar Charged now a $4.20 favourite for the Slipper and Typhoon Tracy at $7.00 for the Doncaster this punter has got himself some pretty good value.”
Sullivan said Solar Charged continued to be well backed in Golden Slipper betting with punters keen to get on at the $4.20.

Newmarket horse racing field
Latest Newmarket odds from Sportingbet:
PUNTERS STILL RIGHT ON THE PULSE
The Michael Moroney trained King Pulse continues to be backed to cause a first up surprise in the Newmarket shortening to $12 at Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the gelding has shortened from $15 to $12 in the past 24 hours as a number of big bets were written.
“One client has had $10,000 each way at $15 so he stands to collect nearly $200,000 alone,” Sullivan said.
“He showed tremendous promise in his three runs in the Spring and this level of support certainly suggest he is flying on the track.
“It is a massive step up to the Newmarket but there is obviously a degree of confidence that he can take the next step.”
All Silent retains favouritism in a very open Newmarket at Sportingbet at $5.50 ahead of Starspangledbanner at $7.50 and Eagle Falls and Nicconi at $9.00.
“The favourites have actually been a little easy here with punters betting very wide, we have laid every horse in the race,” Sullivan said.
“There has also been good money for Turffontein, Wanted and Tollesprit who are all big odds.”

Australia Cup tips
There seems to be plenty of action in early Australia Cup betting.
But there is one horse which starred last Spring in the leadup to the Melbourne Cup, yet has fallen out of favour with punters - Speed Gifted.
The horse, if we remember rightly, didn't quite step up to the two mile despite being well backed prior to the Melbourne Cup. It did, however, cover the ground over 2000m extremely well. With maturity on its side, we won't be minding an each way dabble on the promising stayer.
Meanwhile, here's the latest from Sportingbet:
EXTRA ZERO BACKED TO WIN AUSTRALIAN CUP
Punters are questioning the strength of the older horses in the Australian Cup with three year old, Extra Zero clearly the best backed runner this week at Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the David Hayes trained colt had been backed from $18 to $13 since his win at Caulfield on Saturday.
“In the 48 hours since we reposted the market, he has been the only one punters have wanted,” Sullivan said.
“We took a bet to win $20,000 and a couple of others to win $10,000 and there is still strong support coming for him.
“There aren’t many genuine group one weight for age horse entered so the pull in the weights as the only three year old entered could be a huge advantage for Extra Zero.”
Heart Of Dreams and Zipping still head the Sportingbet market at $7.00 and $7.50 respectively.
“They are the obvious two, especially Zipping who is a dual Cox Plate place getter and has been aimed at this race,” Sullivan said.

William Reid Stakes update
So, IASBet reckons Benetau will win, yet they're prepared to return win bets which lose to the favourite. Interesting concept!
TOP FILLY SCRATCHING GIVES NEW LIFE TO WILLIAM REID STAKES
IASbet.com's John Hartnett gives punters his thoughts on Saturday's Blue Diamond and Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield.
"Preludes are the best form guide for the Blue Diamond, and both Benetau ($3.70 into $3.20) and Psychologist ($8) were very impressive. Given Psychologist must start from the outside gate, it looks like the colt will be very hard to beat now."
"The Oakleigh Plate is a wide open affair and really is anyone's race. Here de Angels ($7.00) ran a track record last start, Peter Moody has four runners (Wanted $5.50, Headway $15, Avenue $21 and Tickets $17) each with good chances, while Weekend Hussler ($15.00) is the query runner and would not surprise first up. For mine, I think Starspangledbanner ($7.00) is a good each-way bet. He won second up at the 1100m last time in and is drawn to get the gun run".
Iasbet.com has a range of special markets and a money back specials available on the Blue Diamond Stakes:
Money Back Special
Place a win only bet (CITY SuperPrice) on the Blue Diamond Stakes and if your bet selection comes 2nd to BENETEAU, we'll refund your bet up to $200.
And here's sportsbet's take on the show:
MONEY COMES FOR BOOM COLT
Blue Diamond hot-favourite Beneteau has been backed off the map according to leading online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au.
“Eight in every 10 bets we’ve taken today have been on Beneteau, including one of $30,000 at $3.50 on the star Sydney colt,” said Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane.
“Star Witness, who was plunged on at $17 in early markets, is also a very bad result. However, both he and the filly Psychologist have been unwanted since their poor draws.”
