25/10/2002 edition Caulfield Plunge Horses Each week we will feature tables showing just how successful the "smart money" was. To qualify a horse must have firmed 5% in the betting market. For example if a horse was backed in from $5.00 (4/1 or 20%) to $4.00 (3/1 or 25%) it will qualify. Odds calculator gives you tables. The jockeys and trainers are also important. You may see some jockeys and trainers consistently bringing home plunges whereas others regularly fail to deliver. Here is an amazing statistic for Caulfield Cup Day, Saturday October 19: Not one horse firmed 5% in the bookies' betting ring. The bookies opened the markets very tight and for most horses were easing the prices in order to attract bets. It is worth noting that the Brian Mayfield-Smith trained Rubitano, ridden by Nash Rawiller, firmed from $9.00 to $6.50 (4.27%) and won the Group 2 Caulfield Sprint run over 1100 metres.
