Punters have sensationally backed former South African galloper Seventh Rock to win tomorrow’s Lightning Handicap at Randwick.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said some spirited betting had forced the price of the entire from $61 to $21.
“We had one punter back it to win $10,000 as soon as markets opened and it’s been a steady stream since.”
“While the horse may have been disappointing since hitting our shores, there was merit in his last run and reports are strong that David Payne has turned this bloke around.”
The Alan Denham trained Youthful Jack is Sportingbet Australia’s Lightning Handicap favourite at $3.50.

Great weekend for aussiepunt
Aussiepunt's bankroll took another 53% rise over the weekend, largely thanks to the big unit from Sportsbet, Matt Campbell.
The former AFL star, turned broadcaster and pro punter, tipped us two winners: Speed Gifted in the 7th at Randwick, and Melbourne to cover the -4.5 line against Parramatta in today's rugby league grand final.
If we thought AAP racing correspondent Grant Stockwell's two from four record the week before was good (and it was), then Matt's perfect record with aussiepunt takes on legendary status.
Speed Gifted started the betting on Friday at $3.40 but a soggy track at Randwick meant that price blew out to $6.70. Other runners in the race were proven in the wet, but a question mark hung over the imported stayer's ability to handle the heavy track.
The bottom line is that Matt's pick bolted in, and now looks like a real chance to motor over the two mile in a few week's time in Melbourne.
The rugby league bet could have gone either way. We got a bit toey when Fui ran in with eight minutes on the clock. But thankfully, the result went in our favour which added a nice bit of cream on top of an already successful weekend.
The week's stocktake saw us invest in only four events. Two of them were Matt's. Another was a small 5% stake on Pakistan in the one-day thriller - a result which went against us.
And we still have an Australian Idol head to head battle in the running - both Nathan Brake (who we've supported) and Kim Cooper (who we've tipped Nathan to outlast) avoided the bottom three, so we could have a lengthy wait on our hands for that one.
You can catch Matt's weekend tips at sportsbet.com each Friday. We've already lined up a guest tipster for next weekend, but there are now two pretty tough acts to follow.
I'll reveal a bit more about next Friday's guest tipster later in the week.
The bottom line: Our initial bankroll of $100 now stands at $248 with the Idol bet still in the running.
Please note, this site is designed for fun. While we've had a couple of wins, we'll also give a warts and all assessment of our losses. Please don't bet more than you can afford.

Free horse racing tips and Oz Idol boost bankroll
Thanks to our guest tipster Grant Stockwell who joined aussiepunt on Friday, the bankroll has taken a healthy rise.
We also collected on Australian Idol last night, predicting Stan would outlast Sabrina - yes, I know, it was like tipping the league leader to knock over the favourite for the wooden spoon, but we'll take the $1.60 with sheepish glee.
Stocky, Brisbane's racing correspondent for Australian Associated Press newswire, gave us four tips - two best and two each way.
At aussiepunt, we suggested 10% of our bankroll on each of Grant's four tips. Things weren't looking real good when Grant's best bet was caught well behind the running of the race before hoop Craig Williams managed to make a late run down the short straight.
The horse didn't win but it's definitely one to watch, particularly if it can get an extra 200m or so on Friday night's 1200m run.
His next best was in the first at Randwick - still no joy.
But then things started to happen with his two each way chances both running first past the post. Little Surfer Girl in the third at Randwick paid a very nice $10.50 for the win and $3 for the place. That meant a return of $67.50 on a $10 investment.
McClintock in the fifth paid a little more modest $4.60 and $2.15, making way for a $33.75 return.
Add that to a $32 return from the Idol bet.
That meant our total $100 bankroll rose nicely to $173.25, up 73.25% in seven days.
Thanks Stocky, you are a champion!
Feel free to follow aussiepunt's ups and downs, whether or not you decide to follow our tips. We'll certainly tell it how it is warts and all. Our formula is simple: We'll put 20% of our total bankroll on a good thing, 10% on a good chance with some value, and 5% on a speculator.
Some punting sites charge for tips. We will never do that here.
* Be sure to punt for fun and don't outlay more than you can afford.

Weekend racing tips from Grant Stockwell
Every Friday we’ll be inviting a guest tipster to the Aussiepunt panel, and to kick things off we’ve got an absolute bottler.
Grant Stockwell knows the racing scene inside out. He’s Brisbane’s racing correspondent for AAP and for years he wrote for Racetrack which was Australia’s oldest racing magazine until it closed earlier this year.
He was a correspondent for Turf Monthly when based in Japan.
But more importantly for us, he knows a fair bit about the nags, and he’s found a special for Mooney Valley’s race meeting tonight.
He’s also thrown in a few chances at Randwick tomorrow to keep us interested as we tune into the AFL Grand Final.
Best bet:
Nicconi. Friday night at Moonee Valley. Race 6, horse 6. Currently $3.90 fixed price.
Next best:
Hus Der Lieften. Saturday at Randwick. Race 1, horse 1. Currently $3 fixed price.
Each way:
Little Surfer Girl. Saturday at Randwick. Race 3, horse 5. Currently $7.50 fixed price.
McClintock. Saturday at Randwick. Race 5, horse 5. Currently $6.50 fixed price.
So this week, our bankroll’s with Grant. We’ll invest 10% of our initial investment on each of his tips and hope he’s on the money!
