There is a new favourite for today’s Melbourne Cup with heavy support for the Joseph O’Brien trained Al Riffa in the last twenty four hours.
Al Riffa opened at $9.00 with betting app swiftbet on Saturday night when the final field was announced and the horse drew barrier 19 of 24 however the wide draw has not deterred punters with big money continuing to come for the class stayer and he has been $9.00 into the now $7.00 race favourite.
The money continued for the horse at yesterday’s Call Of The Card where he was the best backed horse in the race including a single bet of $500,000 to win $4million dollars.
