A whopping R75 million is due to be bet with TAB on Met Day, Saturday January 27, and a number of the pools will be boosted by substantial carryovers, so it will be worth having a stake.
There are 13 races scheduled for the Met meeting, four of them for the best horses in the land including the main feature, the R5 million Sun Met.
A Quartet Maxipool on the big race will start off with R500 000 and is expected to exceed R5.5 million. In a Quartet a punter needs to pick the first four horses past the post in the correct order. However, the easiest way to win with TAB on the Sun Met will be by taking a place bet because TAB is paying out on the first six horses to finish. TAB boss Vee Moodley is expecting the place pool to reach nearly R1.5 million and, with 20 runners, you can bet your bottom dollar you’ll get better-than-expected payouts on every runner.
