Just over half the total money bet on the race has gone on the four year-old mare, while there’s practically no interest in second favourite Respondent.
Real Charm ($14) and Itsahymn ($15) are the only other runners receiving any sort of love at all.
“The plunge on Real Love has hardly come as a surprise. She’s never finished out of the top two and is coming off wins in a Group Three and a Listed Race,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
In the Railway Stakes, Ryan Mark is easily the best backed runner and favourite for the Ascot Group One at $3.50.
