The battle to get Black Caviar has hit epic proportions with no more than six racing clubs pursuing the champion mare and leading online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is tipping the South Australian Jockey Club to win out – but only just!
The SAJC has been installed as the $2.50 favourite to win the right to have Black Caviar run her next race at Morphettville but Sydney’s Australian Turf Club is hot on their heels at $2.70.
The Melbourne Racing Club is on the third line of betting at $5.00 followed by the Moonee Valley Racing Club at $5.50 and the Brisbane Turf Club at $9.00.
The Victoria Racing Club is the outsider in the market at $26 while Any Other Club has been priced at $21.
“The battle has really heated up with clubs calling for government assistance to woo the mare’s connections, but we think the residents of South Australia will have the honour of seeing Black Caviar win her 20th consecutive race, ” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“In saying that, the others will throw in the kitchen sink and the keys to the city to grace them with her presence, so we could be in for a bidding war!”
