SATURDAY’S Newcastle Mile looks one of the most open affairs in recent memory. When TAB released its initial fixed odds market during the week Blazin N Cullen was the favourite despite drawing barrier ten. With so many chances in the race and a First 4 jackpot, it looks set to be an event where a small investment may net you a big result.
Greg Hayes from HRNSW will be passing on his late mail selection on Saturday night on Sky Racing and has spent hours studying the form this week. The best bet according to Greg is the Paul Fitzpatrick trained Badge Of Gameness in race eight. The three year old is a new recruit to the stable arriving from the Riverina and has found himself in a winnable event on Saturday night.
The best value appears to be Bettor Bet Black in the Newcastle Mile. The Darren McCall trained gelding was forced to run a very fast first quarter in the Bulli Cup at Tabcorp Park Menangle last week and beat home a number of his main dangers despite running a sub 25 second first quarter.
