Trifecta paid a lousy $3,731.20 on the Victorian TAB. Throw Machnificent into the first 4 at $8.50 and the dividend becomes a very tasty $93,518.40!Quote:

Hopefully he can bring up his 5000th winner soon. 4945 wins at 16% strike rat (according to HRA) put it at about 30906 drives. I would think 30900 of them have been better than the one last night!Quote:

Yep bad drive also. Both set up an exciting race though.Quote:

Also thanks for the alert Trev, I should have guessed this as I am always complaining how the horse performance records are not to be trusted until the 1990'sQuote:
