    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!

    Himself broke Vampiro's track record 1:54. I couldn't believe the driving tactics on Lavra Joe pulling out from the one, one to sit in the breeze, especially at such a fast pace. I noticed the drive was queried.

    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!

    True but Pinny Tiger did not want to hand up and consequently was beaten 182m

    They weren't bad odds for a horse that had won 7 and finished second 3 times from 11 starts since imported from NZ

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

    Chris Lewis passed 5000 wins years ago. Current records only go back to the 1984/85 season, when he was driving Village Kid. He stared driving a decade earlier, his first big win being on Carclew in the 1976 Inter grand final. History (according to HRA) is bunk.

    Thanks for correction.

    Would appear possibly closer to 6000.

    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's
