You'll notice that he has dropped from $26.00 for the Epsom Handicap to $6.00 on some quotes!! Not sure he'll run in it though. May go to the Caulfield Guinneas I suspect)
AB starting price - $3.10 ($1.60 a place)
Best on course fluctuation -$4.80 (but briefly, $4.40 and $4.60 were gettable and screwed into $3.90 in the last 3 minutes before the race)

I posted about this elsewhere. I got the $9 too. I could have got $10 on Thursday afternoon but I deliberated a bit too long (I was so shocked at the price I thought I must have missed something). I thought it should have been about $2.50, so I've got no idea what the bookies were thinking. Not complaining though. |
