Satin Shoes shortens in Golden Slipper betting

Sportingbet Australia punters got off to a flying start when Satin Shoes scored in today’s Widden Stakes at Randwick.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said punters had no hesitation in snapping up the short odds.

“We took some huge bets on Satin Shoes including one of $100,000 at $1.40,” said Sullivan.

“She looked a little on the big side in the yard but gave the punters no reason for concern at any stage and on appearance she’ll improve on that run.”

Sullivan said Satin Shoes was a good Golden Slipper shortener during the week and would firm further when markets are re-opened later today.

“She was $17 into $12 for the Slipper through the week and she’ll be pushing for favouritism on today’s display,” he said.
