Melbourne Spring Odds: The Preferment Of Punters
October 30th, 2014 by Pom de TurfHe might not yet have a win on his CV, but Preferment is proving a popular choice for punters looking over the Racing odds for the VRC Derby, and they seem to be liking what they’re seeing – Preferment is getting some serious backing in the run-up to VRC Derby Day, and he could well be worth a look at $6.00…
It’s Gai Waterhouse-trained Hampton Court who’s the favourite for the VRC Derby on November 1st, but punters are looking to Chris Waller’s Preferment in significant numbers, according to Sportsbet’s Christian Jantzen: ‘there’s not a lot between them, but Chris Waller’s Preferment is the best backed runner. It is a little surprising as Hampton Court is a Group 1 winner, but punters love backing Waller in these big races.’
It might seem a little surprising to see so much momentum gathering behind a horse who doesn’t yet have a win to his name, but he’s clearly very well regarded, and there will be lots of people expecting great things from him – especially if he can put in a good run at the weekend. Given the quality of a VRC Derby field that includes Hampton Court, Moonovermanhattan, Atmosphere and Bachman, it would be an eye-catching first win for Preferment, and it would signal the arrival of a horse to be watched closely in the Racing odds in future Melbourne Spring seasons…
