Press Release – 9th May 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mackintosh has been the big shortener in Stradbroke betting with the Chris Waller trained gelding shortening from $12 to $7.50 with Bluebet after drawing barrier 1.<\/p>\n Bluebet CEO Michael Sullivan said there had been support for a number of runners away from favourite Clearly Innocent after last start Eagle Farm winner drew barrier 20.<\/p>\n \u201cClearly Innocent has been completely friendless in betting drifting from $3.50 to $4.80 since the draw and punters still don\u2019t want to back him,\u201d Sullivan said.<\/p>\n \u201cMackintosh has clearly been the best backed but there has also been money at odds for iron horse Burning Front ($21 to $17) and In Her Time ($21 to $18).\u201d<\/p>\n Sullivan said while the Stradbroke favourite was on the nose with punters, it certainly wasn\u2019t the case in the J.J. Atkins with Kiwi filly Melody Belle very popular.<\/p>\n \u201cMelody Belle has been backed from $2.30 to $2.10 with Bluebet and she is still proving popular with punters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere has been some money for Taking Aim and Tangled but punters really have zeroed in on Melody Belle.\u201d<\/p>\n Sullivan said Ruthven had been the best backed in the Derby shortening from $6.0 to $5.00 since the draw.<\/p>\n BlueBet Stradbroke Handicap Market<\/p>\n $4.80\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clearly Innocent
