Bookies are taking no chances with Buffalo River when it comes to the Silver Bowl Series Final (1600m) at Flemington on Saturday, with the exciting three year opening as an odds on pop.
The Mike Moroney trained galloper gave them a spanking at Sandown three weeks ago and from all reports worked very well at Flemington on Tuesday morning. He has opened at $1.70 and stifles the betting.
The horse he beat at Sandown, Asgard Masif, is next best at $6.50, half a point clear from Heavenly Emperor, who opened $7.50 and has been the best backed in early betting for the 1600m contest.
