Winx is the odds-on favourite at $1.22 to win a record fourth Cox Plate tomorrow and Sportsbet are reporting that in addition to backing her to win, punters have been getting around whacky bets on the great mare.
While it could potentially be her last race, the online bookmaker is tipping that there will be plenty of celebrations trackside tomorrow, with Jockey Hugh Bowman at $1.30 to do his trademark ‘She’s Apples’ sign any time after Winx wins, and $10 to throw his shirt off into the crowd.
The odds suggest there will be no shortage of tears, trainer Chris Waller is $1.50 to cry tomorrow while Bruce McAvaney is rated a $3.00 chance.
As for what’s next for Winx? The bookie has former snazzy sprinter Snitzel as the $6.00 favourite to hook-up with the great mare. Fastnet Rock, dual Cox Plate winner So You Think and English upstart Frankel are next best to serve her in the breeding barn at $8.00.
“In addition to the great flood of bets that accompany Winx whenever she runs, punters are also getting around plenty of whacky bets on the superstar. There’s been plenty of interest around who will be first to serve her in the breeding barn where she’s sure to have no shortage of top class suitors,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ella Zampatti.
