Racing Odds: Japanese Connections
January 26th, 2015 by Pom de TurfWe’ve had cause to appreciate over the past few weeks and months the quality of the Japanese horses who have made the trip to our shores, and who have been making an impact on the Racing odds we’ve been seeing and bringing to you. That’s a trend that looks set to continue in 2015, and we’ve been looking ahead to the Autumn Carnival in Sydney for another chance to see the Japanese imports shine.
It’s not until April, but the Doncaster Mile is already seeing a little bit of a Japanese connection that will no doubt collect more headlines between now and then. Able Friend is rated by many as the world’s best miler, and is currently installed as the favourite for the Doncaster Mile on Sportsbet, with odds of $6.00 beside his name, even though he’s far from confirmed in the race. Look out, too, for Real Impact and World Ace, who are $17.00 and $21.00 at the moment.
Elsewhere, look out for To The World in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes – he’s currently sitting at odds of $6.00 along with Adelaide. According to online betting site Sportsbet: ‘history shows just how good Japanese horses are in Australian conditions. Able Friend is an out and out superstar of the turf and should shorten if and when connections confirm he’ll be joining the other four Japanese runners.’ Obviously we’ll bring you more news and Racing odds as we see them: we’re expecting to see some quality Japanese horses in the mix…
