Cox Plate Odds: The Cleaner Will Have To Overcome Draw
October 23rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfIn the early build-up to the Cox Plate, which comes around this weekend, you will have seen The Cleaner featuring in the Racing odds: he’s a firm crowd favourite, and only partly because he’s a local boy – he’s a horse that consistently gives really brave efforts, and you can’t help but love the way he has handled himself.
But The Cleaner will have to overcome a less-than-ideal barrier draw if he’s going to see success in the Cox Plate, and against a field that’s studded with real quality, too. In fact, it will have to be an incredibly brave run from The Cleaner, who would likely have to run at the front of the quality field all the way home if he’s going to win it. He has still been well supported by punters, according to Sportsbet, even in spite of the barrier draw: ‘The Cleaner is a crowd favourite, he could jump from the car-park and punters would still back him. He’ll jump and go to the lead and much of the big crowd will be willing the champ from Tassie to stay there.’
Whether he can or not is the big question those punters will have to answer, and we think there will be a little bit of heart in most of the bets behind The Cleaner. Looking at the Racing odds for the rest of the field will show you that it’s still Fawkner at the shortest odds, with $4.40 beside his name as of right now, and you’ll see that Sacred Falls is at odds of $6.00, just ahead of Adelaide at odds of $7.00…
