Sportsbet rewards Winx punters with early payout

Winx
THE team at HorseBetting.com.au thought the +250 Sportsbet.com.au threw up on Winx to go through the autumn undefeated was a sure bet, and it has proven true even before its final race this preparation.

The great mare has one more race to go before a well-earned rest, but the online agency agrees Saturday’s race is all but decided.

Over 2,600 Sportsbet clients have had their undefeated investment paid out prior to Winx’s running in Saturday’s Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes, where the Waller-trained wondermare is at the borderline unbackable odds of $1.10.

A total of $241,290 has been paid out to the astute punters that took the generous odds.

Winx heads into its autumn Sydney swansong after having a synthetic hoof filler applied, which Chris Waller described as “putting a bit of putty in the wall when there has been too many nails”.

The champion trainer said there is nothing unusual about the move, which is a common one for horses that are coming to the end of their preparation.

“I would say most horses get it at some stage, mainly towards the end of a preparation when the hoof starts to get a little bit brittle,” Waller said.

“With a horse like her, she’ll get shod close to 10 times.

“After she races, she gets her shoes put back on. After the farrier has put 60 nails in [a hoof] during a preparation it just grows down like a fingernail.”

90 percent of the bets placed on Australia’s richest weight-for-age race have been on Winx, and Sportsbet representative Will Byrne believes it is a foregone conclusion that the great one makes it 17 wins in a row.

“Winx is going to win this Saturday so we thought why wait for the inevitable? Therefore we’ve let our punters pocket the money early,’’
