Sportingbet Australia punters clearly think that Bauer will get some consolation for missing a Melbourne Cup run in Saturday’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes with early bets including one of $50,000 at $2.30.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Luca Cumani trained galloper would have been well backed if he had of gained a start on Tuesday.
“Bauer was well backed in Cup all in markets and I’m sure he would have attracted plenty of bets on Tuesday,” said Sullivan.
“He’s the best backed runner for Saturday’s meeting and punters clearly feel he’ll be going home with a nice consolation prize.”
