Whobegotyou firms after Maldivian ruled out of Cox Plate

Below is a media statement released today by Sportingbet Australia:

WHOBEGOTYOU FIRMS AS MALDIVIAN RULED OUT

The Mark Kavanagh trained Whobegotyou has firmed into $2.50 to win the Cox Plate following the news that stablemate Maldivian has been ruled out of the remainder of the Spring Carnival.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Maldivian looked to be Whobegotyou’s biggest rival.

“Whobegotyou has shortened from $3.00 to $2.60 following the news of Maldivian’s unfortunate injury,” Sullivan said.

“Whobegotyou is short enough a couple of weeks out from the race and we will be looking to lay him now despite his tremendous record at the Valley.

“But punters were already considering it a match race and there don’t look to many challenges to Whobegotyou as the heir to the title of Australia’s weight for age champion.”
