It looks like famed Aussie trainer Bart Cummings has another winner on his hands as his classy So You Think is blazing through the field en route to a potential Melbourne Cup win.
Now listed at $9.00, So You Think shares the odds on favourite status with last year’s Melbourne Cup champion Shocking.
The four-year-old bay horse is sitting on two consecutive first place finishes, which includes his most recent outing at the Underwood Stakes. The horse overcame a less than desirable run three wide in the final 600 metres to take the win over a field packed with quality weight-for-age runners. His impressive performance in the Group 1 race has plenty of racing enthusiasts backing him in the upcoming Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.
Not only that, but bookmakers can’t deny the talent of this runner as his most recent performance in the Underwood Stakes has forced them to shorten his Melbourne Cup odds. Now listed at $9.00, he shares the odds on favourite status with last year’s Melbourne Cup champion Shocking.
The classy galloper may be receiving plenty of support from fans and punters, but he has yet to be confirmed for the upcoming Melbourne Cup. Trainers are waiting to see how the son of High Chaparral fares in the upcoming Cox Plate. With the second declarations announced on Tuesday for the Group 1 event, he is the early odds on favourite to win the title on October 23. This comes as good news for Cummings who now has a strangle hold on the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate, and the Melbourne Cup.
