Ante-post Cox Plate Betting

Betting markets open up for the Cox Plate around early August at sites like Luxbet, once the first nominations for the race are in. Even though the race isn’t held until months later, many punters are keen to jump on board early and take advantage of the generous Cox Plate odds and good value wagers available for those who are willing to take the risk of early Cox Plate betting. There are no guarantees for ante-post betting, and a number of punters choose to wait until closer to the race once the final field and handicap weights have been announced, which can have a huge impact on the odds available.
