Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has refunded bets placed on the heavily-backed Caulfield Cup favourite December Draw after it was revealed today the gelding suffered a fractured leg during the running of the race. “We feel the right thing to do is refund bets as it’s now become clear that punters who backed December Draw never stood a chance,” sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said. “The horse and connections may well be feeling sore today but punters needn’t be – not if they bet wth sportsbet.com.au. “December Draw has been a revelation since landing on Australian shores and we hope to see him back in full health and dominating the track again as soon as possible.” The significant six-figure refund comes on the back ...
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is set to lose thousands of dollars after they opened a market last month on what will happen first – a Tiger Airways Australian domestic flight or Tiger Woods to play in a PGA-sanctioned event. CASA’s ban on Tiger Airways is now expected to last until the weekend, while Tiger Woods is scheduled to play in the Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio on Thursday. Tiger Airways was paying just $1.03 to return first when the market closed last week, with Tiger Woods at generous odds of $11. Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said: “We thought Tiger Airways was a sure thing to return to the skies before Tiger Woods hit the greens, but it turns out we were wrong and ...

Sportsbet.com.au presents “Catching the Worm”………an early bird look at the weekend’s racing. The carnival moves to Sydney this weekend with Rosehill hosting six Group races although small fields, in particular early in the day, takes some shine off the day. The best betting race of the Group races is the Group One Coolmore Classic (Race 7). Gai Waterhouse trained More Strawberries in blinkers on Thursday morning and she flew. The fact that she is prepared to pay the fine for a late gear change and put the shades on is a crucial pointer here. She has drawn out wide but our traders think she can get across and sit outside the leader Montana Flyer and is terrific each way value. ...

Loves Flemington and third up has been set for this race. Bart Cummings has a good record in this race so look for Precedence to ...
