Punters plunge on 2YO at Ballarat

Punters have plunged on a 2YO at Ballarat this weekend despite a below par run on debut. Rathlin is the heavily backed favourite to take out the Magic Millions Clockwise Classic (1000m) this Saturday at Ballarat and gain automatic entry into the Gold Coast Magic Millions.

The Maher/Eustace trained colt was in the market when debuting in the Maribyrnong and was okay without being great behind Hard Landing. He draws a good gate and gets the blinkers on, so he heads betting here at $3.30, in from $3.50 after bottoming out at $3.10.

The move comes as a punter with the TAB had $7,000 the win and $3,000 the place on the horse to win. Along with this huge bet there have been other notable thousand dollar bets on the horse.

Euphoric Summer is rock solid at $4.20 with La Girl at $5.50 after opening $5 and touching $4.80. That pair looked sharp last Thursday in clockwise jumpouts at Ballarat.
