Australian bookmakers bet 12-1 each
way the odds on favourite Beauty Parlour in the 1 million euro French Oaks. An honest Aussie punter
alerted them to their mistake. Read the full story HERE.
Beauty Parlour appeared to
have the French Oaks won but was gunned down by the outsider, 25-1 pop
Valyra, owned by billionaire, the Aga Khan.
Second favourite Kissed (4-1) which the bookies had laid each way
at 22-1, broke down near the line and will be retired to stud. That’s racing and
why the bookies drive prestige European cars and the punters get round in
reliable Japanese models.
Even not-so-poor young filly Beauty Parlour is oriental being by Japan-raced
and based sire Deep Impact.
Had Beauty Parlour won, it would have been Deep Impact’s first
European Group 1 winner.
The bookies and a billionaire got the chocolates, as the racing
mob say, but Beauty Parlour, Deep Impact and the punters live to fight another
day.
