Non winner heavily backed to win G1

Winless in Australia, German import Our Ivanhowe is the best backed runner for Saturday’s Doomben Cup.

Lee and Anthony Freedman’s entire is $9.00, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au, for the Group 1.

Our Ivanhowe was third in last year’s Caulfield Cup, but has been out of the money in four subsequent starts.

Hauraki, winless since March last year, heads betting at $3.50. It’s Somewhat, a two-time winner during the autumn is next in betting at $5.50.

“The term “non-winner” springs to mind with Our Ivanhowe, but his lack of success has not stopped punters backing the five-year-old. He’s on top with money wagered, with Hauraki not far behind,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
