Today’s barrier draw changed little in punters’ eyes with Tarzino the only firmer in Victoria Derby betting.
The Mick Price trained colt tightened from $2.35 into $2.30 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.
Kia Ora Koutou ($8.00) is the only other runner under double figures.
Here is what’s happening in other major races on Derby day.
- Exciting three-year-old Exosphere dominates Coolmore Stakes betting at $1.40. Nearest in the market are Mogador and Keen Array at $10.
- In the Myer Classic there has been support for Miss Rose De Lago ($13 into $11). Stay With Me is best backed and solid $4.20 favourite.
- The Mackinnon Stakes appears a race of many chances. Magic Hurricane ($5.50) heads betting, ahead of the in-form Stratum Star ($7.50). Roughie Ecuador ($26) has admirers.
“The barrier draw has had little or no effect on betting. Tarzino is easily the best backed runner. He holds more than twice the money of Kia Ora Koutou and they’re the only two punters want,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
