The Manikato Stakes on the eve of the AFL Grand Final is set to be a blockbuster, regardless of whether or not Black Caviar is in the final field.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Black Caviar at $1.70, ahead of Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper champion Sepoy at $3.00 and the up-and-coming Kulgrinda at $6.50.
“Sepoy is a superstar and Kulgrinda definitely looks the real deal, but they’ll struggle to beat the mighty mare over 1200m at the Valley should Peter Moody decide to run her,” Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“She may head to the Schillaci instead, but we’ve got to keep her in the market for now so punters are getting over the odds on every other horse in the race.”
