Big support for Sacred Elixir continues with 50% of the TAB market now on the NZ gelding to win the Victoria Derby 2500m at Flemington.
The money flood has pushed him into $2.70 - a significant drop on the $8.00 available last week.
So Si Bon has been the only other horse to firm - in from $9.00 to $8.00 with Prized Icon drifting from $14 to $17.
“Sacred Elixir was super impressive last weekend and it obviously caught the eye of punters who haven’t stopped backing him, particularly since the barrier draw. There has been little support for any others, with So Si Bon looking the main danger,” says TAB’s Nick Quinn.
In other Group 1 betting news:
· Extreme Choice continues to firm for the Coolmore Stakes, in from $3.20 to $3.00 in the past 24 hours.
· Oceanographer has firmed from $26 to $21 for the Melbourne Cup after receiving an $8,000 bet yesterday. He is the $2.60 favourite to win the Lexus Stakes.
