Tomorrow Lloyd Williams’ in-form nine-year-old Zipping will take on a crack field in the 2010 Cox Plate at Moonee Valley and late money has been coming in for the veteran to become the Cox Plate winner in his fourth attempt at the weight-for-age feature.
Trained by Robert Hickmott, Zipping is seemingly in career best form and is one of the only runners in the Cox Plate field tomorrow that hot favourite So You Think hasn’t beaten this season.
It will be the fourth time Zipping lines up in the $3 million Cox Plate tomorrow, unplaced in 2007 before placing second to Maldivian in 2008 and then finishing third to reigning champion So You Think 12 months ago.
The betting markets may be dominated by $1.55 favourite So You Think, but punters are starting to seek out the value runners capable of an upset and Zipping has had money come in for him today shortening his odds from $17 into $16 at Luxbet.
History may be against Zipping tomorrow, but form suggests this evergreen galloper can win the 2010 Cox Plate and become just the second nine-year-old in history along with Fields Of Omagh (2006) to become a Cox Plate winner.
Zippings’ connections will have their money on him that’s for sure.
“His preparation thus far has been perfect and one thing I can assure you is he’s there in absolute career-best form and I reckon he’ll put on a real show on the day,” Nick Williams, son of owner Lloyd Williams, said.
So if you fancy an upset and are looking for the roughie to pick tomorrow, put your money on Zipping at a great price through Luxbet now!
