Melbourne Cup winning duo Gai Waterhouse and Damien Oliver are favourites to win some more silverware in Sunday’s Sportsbet-Ballarat Cup.
Fresh from Melbourne Cup success with Fiorente, the Waterhouse trained The Offer is $3.20 favourite with online bookmaker Sportsbet Australia.
“It looks to be a pretty tight market and punters are yet to declare who they want to be on, but we’re expecting them to get behind The Offer because of the Gai and Ollie factor,’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
Whispser Downs ($13) is the best backed runner and Garud ($8.00) also has admirers.
While all eyes will be on the Cup, punters at the track will also have their own chance to win thanks to the Sportsbet Ballarat Reverse Race!
25 people will have the chance to win $5,00 and all they have to do is win a 100 metre race… running backwards! Punters will have the chance to put their name forward for the race at the track.
