Instead of your traditional market movers, PonyBet’s boss Jason Scott reckons the best way to help punters is to copy the experts.
“You will definitely find your customers more winners if we look at what the big players are doing, where the smart money is.”
Can’t argue with that logic. Every Friday, Scott will take Betsy through where the smart money is going ahead of the weekend, anywhere in Australia.
RANDWICK
Race 6 Number 1 Wooloowin $11
”Probably the best-backed horse is Wooloowin, which is a bit odd really,’’ Scott said.
‘’We laid the $21 when it went up. It’s in to $11 now, but there was money at $17 and money again at $15. So it’s definitely the best-backed back runner with us for Saturday.’’
Race 2 Number 12 Autumn Break $2.25
‘’It’s three from three in the bush obviously, but it goes super-fast,’’ Scott said.
‘’I had a quick look at a couple of the trials. I’d be very surprised if it doesn’t lead over the 1200 metres. We were briefly at $2.70, now it’s into $2.25.”
Randwick Race 4 Number 9 Unleeshing $2.45
‘’It’s one of Bjorn’s, he wins more than anyone else when the money comes. It’s right into $2.45.”
CAULFIELD
Race 6 Number 8 Pallaton $3.70
‘’Hedged is the top weight, but they are going for one on the bottom of the weights, Pallaton with Michael Freedman.”
‘’It’s $5 into $3.70, it’s been very well-backed with us at the $5 and, sort of, they followed it all the way in.”
‘’I know it’s in at the bottom and well weighted, but I would have thought a horse like Hedged and Oak Hill might be too good for a young horse like it, but the money says otherwise.’’
DOOMBEN
Race 2 Number 7 Divine Diamonds $11
”One of the bigger syndicates backed Divine Diamonds, they took $23. There has been a 15c deduction since, but it’s into $11.”
