Hugh Bowman has been opened as the $2.10 favourite by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to take make it back-to-back New South Wales metro jockey premierships.
His biggest opponent will once again be Nash Rawiller, who’s next at $2.50, while Corey Brown ($6.00), Glyn Schofield ($8.00), Kerrin McEvoy ($21) and Brenton Avdulla ($101) are all in market.
“Bowman and Rawiller have had some ding-dong battles over the past few years, and the market suggests Hugh might just shade Nash this year too,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
Chris Waller has been opened at just $1.14 to win the trainers’ premiership, with Gai Waterhouse ($4.00) seemingly his only real threat. Peter Snowden has been priced at $13.
