Punters back Million Dollar flop

Punters are once again keen to back a $1million dollar Team Snowden trained colt when he lines up in a Maiden Plate this Saturday at Gosford despite flopping as a heavily backed favourite at Flemington.

King the son of Written Tycoon was crunched in betting when he debuted in the Maribyrnong Plate (1000m) at Flemington but was found wanting late after leading.

Punters are happy to overlook what could only be described as a flop and go again given the hype/boom around him. He opened at $3.10 touched $3.00 but is now back out to his opening price despite good support with bookies willing to take him on.

Let Me Sleep On It is next best at $4.00, in from $4.20 for the WaterBott team. Godolphin youngster Fake is rock solid at $5 while there has been solid each way support for Nuke, who is now into $4.60 after opening $7.50.
