Online bookmaker Sportsbet has lifted Hucklebuck to equal Stradbroke favourite after drawing barrier one.
Special Offer: $250 Stradbroke Handicap FREE BET
Hucklebuck and Srikandi, who drew gate 17, share top billing for the Eagle Farm Group 1 at $5.00. Money has also come for Spirit of Boom ($8.00) and Red Tracer ($8.50).
“Punters who backed Hucklebuck before the barrier draw will be laughing. Srikandi is still a popular pick, but since the draw there has been a steady stream of money for Hucklebuck,’’Sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
Sportsbet.com.au is also offering a ‘buy one get one free’ wager with Spirit Of Boom and Temple Of Boom ($26), with $8.00 for either horse to win the feature sprint.
In Derby betting Vilanova has eased to $4.60 and shares top line with Pinstripe Lane.
Brazen Beau remains solid $2.15 favourite in J.J. Atkins betting. The colt is the best backed runner, but support for Almalad $4.50 is increasing.
