Chief Stipe Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Boom 3YO CatalystImage: Trish Dunell Boom Kiwi three-year-old Catalyst is expected to return in winning style at Ellerslie on Saturday, but the confidence levels must differ vastly based on what side of the ditch you hail from. The NZ TAB had priced Catalyst as a $1.10 chance to bank win his sixth win from seven starts when contesting Saturday's The Henley Park Mr Tiz Trophy (1200m). However, the Australian TAB was far more generous, opening him up at $1.60 before trimming that quote into $1.30. While the opening quote was spared, TAB reported one bet of $59,917 at $1.45, plus another bet of $34,000 at $1.40 from the same customer. That punter stands to profit $40,562.65 should Catalyst win first-up on Saturday. Catalyst remains at $1.30 with BetEasy and Sportsbet, which is interesting given the local perspective won't see him get out beyond $1.15 according to NZ TAB. Michael Guerin@GuerinSports Can’t think of many bigger final field odds discrepancies than Catalyst this Saturday. Opened $1.6 in Aussie but $1.1 in NZ and NZ TAB say no chance he will drift past $1.15. That’s a giant difference (profit margin) for a very exposed horse. Aussie TAB copped 94k bet at 1.45!!! 36 4:08 PM - Jan 23, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Michael Guerin's other Tweets Catalyst is entered for the All-Star Mile at Caulfield in March, and sits inside the top-10 in voting as of Thursday afternoon, with over three weeks remaining in the voting period.
