Chautauqua has drifted in betting in the Manikato Stakes
Chautauqua may be regarded as the best sprinter in the world, but the punters at Sportsbet.com.au aren’t so sure about that as he has been a drifter in early betting for the Manikato Stakes (1200m) on Friday night at Moonee Valley.
The champion grey resumed in the Moir (1000m) and was just run off his legs when running fourth to star three year old Extreme Choice. 1200m is perfect for him, but gate one is the worry, and I think that is the case for punters also. He opened $2.25 after the barrier draw and has eased to $2.50, with punters looking for value.
Buffering is the value for most. He opened $12 and has trimmed up to $10. Newmarket winner The Quarterback has been supported ($17 – $15), as has Fell Swoop ($13 – $11).
