Racing: Moody Betting On A Cox Plate Run For Dissident
July 25th, 2014 by Pom de TurfThis could easily have been a season that Dissident spent away from the racecourse, with some sizable offers coming the way of his owners that very nearly tempted them to give him the year off. But a few key retirements amongst the weight-for-age horses that would have been his competition have persuaded his owners to give him a chance at the Cox Plate in 2014 – and the Racing odds show him as a real chance at this early stage…

July 12th, 2014 by Pom de TurfIt can sometimes feel like the real fliers are left out of the headlines in the Spring Season, with the media focus trained on the really high-profile races: the Melbourne Cup itself, of course, but the Cox Plate and the Caulfield Cup, as well.

But who those fliers will be is open to debate. Between now and the start of October we’ll be bringing you all the Racing odds as we get them, and Read the rest of this entry »
