Cannington 715m track record holder Chinatown Lad has been solidly supported with TAB Sportsbet to take out the richest staying event in the country, the Group 1 $112,500 2008 SKY Channel Galaxy Final, which takes place at Cannington on Saturday night April 12.
The Tasmanian stayer trained by Shane Whitney was plunged from $17 into $6 when winning the recent Interstate Stayers Challenge and once again the punters have heavily backed the son of Lilli Pilli Lad firming his price from $1.80 into $1.70. On the second line of betting is Gunnadoo Magic at $4.20 with Ready To Star and Fancy Penny next in betting at $8.
In betting on the Group 1 $187,500 SKY Channel Perth Cup final the Jason Thompson-trained Whippy’s Image has been supported into outright favourite at $3.80 with kennelmate Proven Alias next in line at $4, Queenslander Size Can Matter at $4.60 and Mandagery Man and Miss Hot Gossip both at $5.50.
