The Sydney Cup is a race between one, at least that’s what Sportsbet punters think anyway. They can see no way that Hartnell will get beaten and have smashed him in the betting. The Godolphin trained Gelding opened at $2.75 but that price is long gone as the impressive four year old is now $2.25 to make it three wins on the trot.

The only dangers according to the fixed odds market are proven two milers Who Shot Thebarman and Protectionist who provided two legs of the Melbourne Cup trifecta.
No one could forget Protectionist’s emphatic Melbourne Cup win and punters won’t let him get under their guard, he has received support and is $5.50 into $5.00. He goes up 1.5kg from his Melbourne Cup triumph and it will be a massive effort if he can salute here.
Who Shot Thebarman is dropping in weight from his latest two mile run which is a huge plus. Albeit the drop is only half a kilo we know that he will run a strong 3200m with the weight. He has been solid in the betting at $4.50.
One thing is for sure and that is that this will be a cracking edition of the Sydney Cup. We have three proven two mile horses who also handle rain affected tracks if that is to play a part. It would be shocking to say the least if one of the three horses mentioned did not win the race.
