| Crystal Lily off the map at TAB Sportsbet |
Punters have launched into Melbourne filly Crystal Lily in Saturday’s Group III Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) at Randwick.
The Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained filly was posted as a $4 second favourite with TAB Sportsbet behind Ambers Waltz when betting kicked off on Wednesday, but a wave of money forced her price into $3.20 and she’s now the top elect.
“As soon as the market went up we took a bet of $5,000 and she firmed into $3.60,” TAB Sportsbet spokesman Glenn Munsie said. “Since then we've taken another bet of $4,000 at the $3.60 so she’s now the favourite.”
Munsie also said the support for Crystal Lily hasn’t been restricted to the Sweet Embrace. “She was at $17 in the Golden Slipper but a bet of $10,000 brought her quote into $15,” he said. “Further bets of $4,000 and $2,000 each-way have been laid at $15.”
