The spring spotlight has shifted sharply onto Half Yours, the emerging stayer who now finds himself at the top of betting markets for this Saturday’s Caulfield Cup.
If he lives up to the hype, it could be a race that cements his status as the next big thing in Australian staying ranks.
Trained by Tony and Calvin McEvoy, the five-year-old surged into calculations following a devastating win in the Group 3 Naturalism Stakes, where he stormed to a three-length victory and secured ballot exemption for the Caulfield Cup.
That win installed him as the red-hot favourite with bookies.
Since then, he has drawn ideally in gate two, according to Betsy’s Matt Welsh. Superstar jockey Jamie Melham rides, chasing her first Caulfield Cup win, a victory that would make her the first female rider to win the race.
To mark the time honoured race, Baggybet are offering an enhanced $5.00 for Half Yours to win the Caulfield Cup (max bet $10).
