After the enormous plunge on Black Caviar last week, punters have come for the favourites again with the More Joyous in the Futurity Stakes and Sepoy in the Blue Diamond Stakes double heavily backed at Sportingbet Australia including a bet of $50,000 at $2.65.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said punters had clearly identified them as the two good things for tomorrow and the double price has shortened to $2.52.
“Punters simply think More Joyous and Sepoy will both be winning and have backed both individually and in the double,” Sullivan said.
“We took a bet of $82,500 to $50,000 on the double as well as a bet of $50,000 at $1.70 on Sepoy and two bets of $20,000 on More Joyous.
“Punters put the huge money down on Black Caviar last week and they have been keen to reinvest it.”
Sullivan said he was far more confident taking on More Joyous and Sepoy than he was against Black Caviar last week.
“Punters were never worried for a second last week, Black Caviar just blitzed them,” Sullivan said.
“Both these favourites might win but I am pretty sure bookies will get a bit more of a show this week.
“I think Sepoy is certainly short enough at $1.60 and I am keen to keep laying him.
“Even really dominant 2yo’s such as Bel Esprit and Alinghi were black odds so he does look short enough at $1.60 but punters are more than happy to take the short price.”
