Champion mare Black Caviar is a $4.00 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet to win her first race in Sydney, tomorrow G1 TJ Smith Stakes, by four lengths or more.
Such is her domination of the betting market, just $1.18 is available on the Peter Moody-trained star recording her twelfth straight victory, in from $1.22.
“We opened Black Caviar at $1.22, which despite already being a short price, punters thought the odds were generous and have since backed her into $1.18,†sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.
“We’re happy to take on favourites in big races, but she’s the exception to the rule. Something massive would have to go wrong to not see her in the winners circle yet again.
“More than 95 percent of all bets taken so far have been on Black Caviar.â€
Boom New Zealander Jimmy Choux is well fancied at $2.20 to take out tomorrow’s AJC Derby, while Elite Falls is the narrow $3.30 favourite from Do You Think ($3.50) in the Sires Produce Stakes.
