A hopeful punter is in for a major payday if outsider Oxford Blue can pull off an upset in the Victoria Derby at Flemington this Saturday.
The Julian Sandhu-trained three-year-old has drawn notable betting interest, with one TAB customer placing a substantial $5000 each-way wager on Oxford Blue. The son of 2013 Melbourne Cup victor Fiorente currently stands at odds of $51 for the win and $13.50 for a place.
El Castello remains the favourite in the race at $5.50 but has been easy since markets opened where he was $3.60.
