This week’s Bookie Update thanks to Richard Wilson
Thursday – Forbury Park
The most popular race on the card was R4. $2,000 on Miss Fandango @ $3.30 Top3 paid well but $3,000 Pete’s Dash @ $3.50 & $3,000 Pete’s Dash @ $1.60 Top3 both missed. Plenty of money for Kate’s Carrera @ $1.90 & Born To Boogie @ $2 missed the mark. Once Complete Package got to $3.60 from his opening quote of $3, there were some decent bets landed on him.
Friday – Blenheim
Punters got the better of us at Blenheim on Friday despite the largest 3 bets all missing the mark. They were $3,600 & $2,000 bets on Nandolo @ $1.40 and $3,000 on Madeleine Stowe @ $2.60. The not so big punts were cashing in on Be Mine Tonight @ $5.50 into $4, Raison D’Etre $2.30-$2, Red Hot Poker $3.10-$2.90, Forgotten Highway $3-$2.90 and Wrangler @ $1.85 into $1.60.
Friday – Auckland
Another Auckland plunge came off on Friday night with Scoob Operator $5 into $3. The best of many tickets on him was $750 @ $5. Commando One later in the night was also a terrible result for us with the largest bet on him being $3,000 @ $5.20. Saving the night was the upset win of Suzie Pee Jay in R5. She was $15 out to $18 and with plenty of support for to top half of the market, she was a great result. $3,000 Seaswift Joy @ $1.43 also missed as did $1,200 Max Phactor @ $8.80 in the same race.
Sunday – Blenheim
Day 2 @ Blenheim not great for us with the big punters hitting form. $5,000 Alta Shelby @ $3.10 the best bet with $5,000 & $3,000 on Madeleine Stowe @ $2.50 and $5,000 Red Hot Poker @ $2.20 not bad either. $2,000 Tinker Taylor @ $3.60 struck in the last & $350 Doctor Time @ $14 got the cream in R2. Thankfully not everything went punters way. Nandolo proved costly again with bets of $10,000 and $4,500 @ $1.45 on there.
