The punters are saying the Tony Pike-trained Sacred Elixir is the one to beat in Saturday’s Victoria Derby 2016 and he is the best in betting for the Flemington classic, but what does the race history say about the favourite saluting in Victoria Derby 2016 betting?
A capacity field of three-year-olds stayers face off in this weekend’s edition of the $1.5 million Group 1 AAMI Victoria Derby (2500m), but the money is all on the top fancy Sacred Elixir.
A Group 1 winner as a two-year-old in Brisbane, the smart Pour Moi gelding enjoyed the Group 2 Moonee Valley Vase (2040m) win last Saturday and now backs up seven days later into the VRC Derby.
He gets the rails run from barrier one and has been well-supported in the Victoria Derby odds at Ladbrokes.com.au backed in from $3.50 to $2.90.
So is it worth following the favourite all the way to the winning post in Flemington Race 7 on Saturday?
To help punters make the call on whether to back or sack the in-form Kiwi raider to head the Victoria Derby results this spring below we take a look over the VRC Derby history and how the favourites have fared.
Think Sacred Elixir can get the job done as the top fancy on Saturday and is the deserving Victoria Derby 2016 favourite? Back him now at the right price through Ladbrokes.com.au.
