Chariots of Fire Betting Odds

Written By admin On Thursday, July 30th, 2009

The Chariots of Fire at Harold Park is the undoubted highlight on the card and the Garry Hall Snr trained Im Themightyquinn is a firm $2-30 favourite in Chariots of Fire betting odds with Sportsbet.com.au

Well under the odds for mine, the boys from the west can snap that up..

Granted, he won well last week zipping home in 56.5 but despite coming home like a jet plane, he’d had enough on the line. He’s going to have to run some time all the way here with Mafioso eyeballing him, that’s provided Im Themightyquinn goes to the front.

Pretty sure the Kiwi in gate 1 will hand up to the first horse there. Kiwis have a tendency to give up without a fight when someone wants to lead in a race and either Im Themightyquinn will roll to the front and get burned by Mafioso or Mafioso is going to go straight across to the lead and run them along.

Not sure how much gate speed Im Themightyquinn has, but his problem is Mafioso is going to run along whether he leads or sits outside the leader and at the $2.30 quote I don’t want to be on him.

For this reason, I will be having something on Sammy Maguire. I’m sure he is going to have the last crack at them and if he gets any luck in the run home he should be powering over the top of them.

I’m expecting them to go like last week’s pay up top. I’ll know soon enough whether my tickets are confetti.

Don’t be scared to put a few spare dollars on the mare Kept For Pleasure at the 51.00 quote. She was taking ground off Im Themightyquinn on the line after he dropped her on the bend.

I’m pretty confident they will run along. If they do, then she will be in this up to her eyeballs. It would be madness to ignore her at those odds.
