Mayluckyday is into $8.00 for the 2010 Melbourne Cup after Sportingbet Australia wrote a bet of $200,000 to $22,000 on the Hawkes trained 4yo this afternoon.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said while So You Think was and would remain the best backed runner there had been good money for Mayluckyday and Descarado.
“Punters are definitely keen on Maluckyday and there was today’s earlier bet of $40,000 each way on Descarado at $14,” said Sullivan.
“So You Think is still easily taking the majority of the bets but they’re starting to warm up for a couple to roll him.”
So You Think is now into $3.10 with last year’s winner Shocking out to $10.
