TAB has this morning released a number of futures markets for the upcoming Autumn Racing Carnival.
Having already opened a stack of Group Ones earlier including features such as the TJ Smith, Doncaster Mile, Black Caviar Lightning and All Star Mile, today punters can now bet on a further nine top line events.
One of the horses many are waiting for to return is the Chris Waller-trained Espiona who heads a number of these markets today.
The unbeaten Extreme Choice filly has won both career runs but set tongues wagging following her six-and-a-half length win on VRC Oaks Day last year. She is already a hot favourite to win the Surround Stakes but has opened $4.50 to win the Vinery Stud Stakes while she heads the betting at $6 for the Queen Of The Turf and Coolmore Classic.
Melbourne Cup winner Verry Elleegant heads the betting for the TAB Chipping Norton at $2.80 while $2.30 is $2.30 to take out the Tancred.
In other highlights:
- Coolmore Stud Stakes winner Home Affairs is an equal $6 favourite in The Galaxy along with Godolphin’s Paulele
- Anamoe and Lost And Running head the market for the George Ryder at $4.50 respectively
- The Futurity sees Golden Eagle winner I’m Thunderstruck at the head of betting at $4
