Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said there’s been strong support for the Peter Moody trained mare and she’s now an outright 5th favourite at $13.
“Moody decided to avoid the Metropolitan at Randwick in order to focus on the Caulfield Cup with Lights Of Heaven and the money suggests the horse must be doing very well,” Sullivan said.
“Aside from the $35,000 bet we’ve taken a number of four figure wagers and she’s now one of the best backed runners in the race.”
Last year’s Melbourne Cup winner, Dunaden, has also been well supported in Caulfield Cup betting over the last two days and is $13 into $9. The Gai Waterhouse trained Glencadam Gold remains a solid $3.80 favourite ahead of December Draw at $6.
