Redzel has consistently been near the top of The Everest market

Is has been a dramatic couple of weeks in TAB The Everest betting and we now have half the field at either $7 or $8.

“While last year’s winner Redzel has consistently been near the top, I wonder if the punter who backed him at $8 back in December thought he’d be the same quote just more than a week out,” TAB’s Gerard Middleton said.

The first bet placed on any of the current runners was a $95 wager on Redzel at $8 on December 4.

The highest odds any of the current runners have been was $101 for Le Romain on July 2.
