Two weeks later and punters were expected to line up and take $1.40 about him in the Group Three Maurice McCarten Stakes. He was eventually edged out by Target In Sight and punters were left with egg on their face for the second time.
It appears that punters are not interested in going for a third time lucky theme. The Hawkes trained once suspected champion sprinter has gone for a bath in the betting for the Group One Galaxy over 1100m at Rosehill. He has been $4.00 out to $4.60 with online bookmaker Sportsbet and it wouldn’t surprise if this drift continued.
Punters are keen to put their money on Rubick after he was desperately unlucky in his last start. The Gerald Ryan trained colt is $6.00 into $5.50 to take out his first Group One.
Flamberge and Atmospherical have also been specked at longer odds.
