Streama is the popular pick with punters for the Myer Classic but more than half the field has support to beat her.
$500 MYER CLASSIC FREE BET + BEST TOTE
The New South Wales Horse of the Year is currently the $3.00 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.
Streama remains the clear cut favourite and she has taken double the money than anyone else but a wealth of other runners have also been well backed.
Secret Admirer ($7.00), Yosie ($8.50), Pear Tart ($8.50), Red Tracer, Oasis Bloom and Soft Sand (all $10) have all received equal support from punters.
“It is rare to see a betting pattern like this. Away from Streama we have seven or eight runners with almost identical support,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“Throw in roughies Raspberries ($26) and Full Spirit ($19) and there is very little between them all. Punters obviously have the race wide open away from the favourite.”
