Sydney Cup punters go Boom

Boom Time has been well backed at big odds to win the Sydney Cup

Sydney Cup outsiders Boom Time and Harlem have been the notable firmers for the Randwick Group 1.

Online bookmaker sportsbet has received a number of bets for the David Hayes & Tom Dabernig trained stayers. Harlem has tightened from $51 into $36 but the plunge horse has been Boom Time who has been smashed from $21 into $10 with money continuing for the last start Caulfield winner.

The Darren Weir trained Big Duke remains the rock solid favourite at $3.20. Polarisation has eased from $6.00 to $6.50 and stablemate Penglai Pavilion has also moved half a point to $5.50 whilst Lasqueti Spirit has been friendless and is out to $14.

“The Hayes-Dabernig partnership is a strong one and the fact that money is coming for Boom Time and Harlem is a good lead for punters looking for value,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
