Sydney to Hobart

[kenrosewall]

Anyone had a look at this?

Betfair have markets for line honours, race record and a couple of head to heads (Alfa v Leopard & Wild Thing v Loyal). Not sure if they will put up a handicap market between now and the start or not.

Will post my thoughts closer to the event when forecast is more clear.

From what I'm hearing you can just about rule out a race record. Reported to be tough going across Bass Straight.

Depends who you listen to stmookeyj.

I don't think I have ever followed a Sydney to Hobart before where the race record hasn't rated a mention.

Some are forecasting a downhill race all the way, which I would think means Alfa or Oats will slash 4 to 5 hours of the record.

If the weather is rough as some others are saying, then this brings Leopard back into the fold.
