Betting markets have opened for the 2012 Lightning Stakes at Flemington Racecourse this Saturday February 18, 2012.
Black Caviar is currently favourite for the race and is paying odds of $1.10 at LuxBet.
After her impressive victory over 1,400 metres in the CF Orr Stakes last weekend, Black Caviar will have just a week back up before attempting to claim her 19th unbeaten race win.
The five-year-old mare us paying longer than usual odds due to the fact she is facing old rival Hay List for the first time since the Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival last year.
Hay List has since recovered from a severe foot infection and a life threatening bout of colic to be near his best ahead of Saturday’s 2012 Lightning Stakes.
The six-year-old gelding is currently paying odds of $9 to win the 2012 Lightning Stakes at LuxBet at his first start back.
Hay List has won 14 of his 20 race starts to date and has won more than $1.7 million in prize money.
The Statue Of Liberty gelding finished second to Black Caviar in his last start in the Group 1 BTC Cup at Doomben in May last year.
Foxwedge is presently on the third line of betting at LuxBet and is paying odds of $14 to win the 2012 Lightning Stakes.
The three-year-old colt finished a scintillatingly close second to Sepoy in the Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes last start and will be first-up for his 2012 Lightning Stakes assignment.
Foxwedge, who has firmed in from his original odds of $17, has won four of his nine race starts and earned more than $525,000 in prize money.
Metallurgical, Phelan Ready and Secret Flyer are the least backed horses in the 2012 Lightning Stakes betting, with each paying odds of $151 at LuxBet.
