Punters have instantly stepped into Oaks favourite Shamrocker with a bet of $50,000 struck at $2.90 with Sportingbet Australia shortly after the market opened.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Derby winner was the only one punters wanted after she drew perfectly in barrier four.

“Shamrocker shortened up dramatically after winning the Derby but punters think she is still good odds and have stepped in,†Sullivan said.
“I thought she looked worth risking at those odds but she is now into $2.70 after the bet of $50,000 and some other good sized bets.â€
Sullivan said Victorian Oaks winner Brazilian Pulse was actually still his worst result for the Oaks following some massive pre-post bets.
“We have a huge liability on Brazilian Pulse after taking a string of big bets including one of $40,000 at $4.80 in early betting,†he said.
“She is the clear second pick now at $4.00 but we haven’t seen much interest in her this week.â€
