Punters are keen to back Hartnell and Winx in Saturday's G1's
They are two of the best horses going around and are short odds, but that hasn’t deterred punters from backing Winx and Hartnell.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Winx as the $1.10 favourite to notch her 20th consecutive win in the George Main Stakes at Randwick. She is easily the best backed ahead of Red Excitement ($26), which finished second to the great mare last start.
Hartnell is $1.80 to win his third Group 1 in the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington. He holds 10-times more money than the next best supported horse, Jon Snow ($21).
“We all love Winx, and Hartnell is also very popular with punters so they’re dominating the market. Any price a winner is a good price and they both should win their respective assignments,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
