The Offer Racing Odds: A Melbourne, Caulfield Cup Double?
August 19th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWe’re a long way out from the Melbourne Spring, and the big races that will be the focus of attention for the press and for most punters. There are already some great stories shaping up, though, and one of them is Gai Waterhouse’s The Offer, who’s a chance to bring Australia’s first lady of Racing a second Melbourne Cup win. But the Melbourne Cup isn’t the only race where the Racing odds feature The Offer prominently: could the talented gelding bring Waterhouse an incredible double by winning both the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup?
Well, things can change, of course, between now and the start of the Spring Season, let alone between now and those two big races, but if you were so inclined, you could make an early bet on The Offer for both big races or either. He’s currently the favourite in both the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup, with odds of $13.00 for the Melbourne Cup on Sportsbet right now, and $15.00 for the Caulfield Cup…
It would be quite a thing for The Offer to dominate both races, and it would make for quite a story, too: with Gai Waterhouse’s first Melbourne Cup win in last year’s race, the retirement of Fiorente and the emergence of The Offer, there could be plenty of column inches filled if things go his way. There are lots of other high-profile races to look at in the Melbourne Spring, obviously, but The Offer looks to be the horse who’ll be looming large in the Racing odds for two of the biggest, so make sure you hit that link there to get the up-to-the-minute odds!
