A suite of small bets and a $4,500 wager has lifted Sully to the third most popular VRC Derby runner with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.
- Lexus Stakes favourite Harlem ($3.80) holds 10-times more money than second favourite Aloft ($5.00).
- Eptimum, part-owned by Paul “Fatty” Vautin, is $8.50 second favourite and the best supported runner in the Coolmore Stud Stakes. Viridine heads betting on $7.50.
Sully ($8.50) is on the fifth line of betting behind $6.00 favourite Ace High and Main Stage ($7.00).
The top two in betting are best backed and Sully has leap-frogged Tangled ($7.00) and Weather With You ($7.50) in popularity.
