The monster bets on Black Caviar have continued on Saturday morning with one Sportingbet Australia placing $300,000 on Australia’s favourite mare at $1.21.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said it was hard to remember a horse in recent years capturing the public’s imagination like Black Caviar has.
“We saw some huge bets on the likes of Lonhro and Makybe Diva but Black Caviar takes things to a whole new level,†said Sullivan.
“Punters feel she is unbeatable and see their bets as a term deposit which has terms of just over a minute instead of months or years.â€
The $300,000 bet comes on top of bets including one of $150,000 and two of $100,000 already placed on the world’s highest rated sprinter.
