Winning Rupert has got the MM Guineas sealed up if money is any indication
Unbeaten three-year-old Winning Rupert has been backed as if unbeatable in Saturday’s Guineas at the Gold Coast.
- Winning Rupert has the “Winx” factor leading into Saturday’s Magic Millions Guineas.
- Houtzen was $67 to win the Classic in November – she is now $4.00 second favourite.
- Classic topweight, Ours To Keep, has been well supported since the barrier draw.
Sportsbet.com.au offered $3.00 for Winning Rupert last month, but after his next two stunning wins he tightened dramatically and is now $1.50 favourite with the online bookmaker.
Ours To Keep opened at $31 and kept firming after each of his three wins. Since drawing barrier four he has tightened from $7.50 into $6.00 for the Classic.
The bulk of money is for From Within. She was $21 before her race debut and is now $3.90 favourite ahead of Houtzen ($4.00), who was rated a $67 chance in November.
“According to punters the Magic Millions Guineas is over. Not since Winx have we seen a horse dominate betting like Winning Rupert, it’s hard to write a ticket for anything else. The Classic is much harder and support has been widespread, but From Within holds the most cash,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
