Early betting picture– 2014 Caulfield Cup (pre and post barrier draw)
Clinton Payne - 15/10/2014
Bookies and punters think four horses received an advantage at Tuesday’s barrier draw for the $3 million Group I Caulfield Cup (2400m).
At the conclusion of the draw on Tuesday evening, bookies reframed their markets and significantly altered their prices on a few runners.
The biggest firmer courtesy of the barrier draw was the Peter Moody-trained Lidari. After securing barrier four, the imported galloper firmed from his pre-draw price of $26 into $15.
Race favourite Lucia Valentina also shortened following the draw from $5 into $4.50 while the two Japanese gallopers were also trimmed in bookies markets.
Admire Rakti came in from $13 to $11 while Bande is now an $8.50 chance after you were able to secure $9.50 on Tuesday after the field was announced.
Below is a comparison of pre and post barrier draw fixed odds prices for the 2014 Group I Caulfield Cup.
