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.
