We spoke to jockeys that rode beaten favourites.
Race 1: Auckland Co-OP Taxis 1200 Sword of Osman Opie Bosson
Won
Race 2: Swiss Deli 1200
Stratocaster Opie Bosson
Won
Rae 3: Bestaff 1400
Chicane Taiki Yanagida
Got too far back from the leaders and couldn't make ground. Maybe some easing of the footing would suit her.
Race 4: NZB Insurance Pearl Series
Probabeel Opie Bosson
Won
Race 5: 0800 Horsevets 2100
Gundown Matthew Cameron
It was a top run by him. He's an out and out stayer. It was good to have him run on a Good3 track.
Race 6: Monstavision
Praise De Fer Opie Bosson
Won - relegated to second
It was a very good effort by a smart horse. He's still a bit green and it was unlucky that he saw the big screen and ran out.
Race 7: FastTrack $5K 2100
Fiscal Fantasy Jason Waddell
Disappointed with my ride.
Race 8: Pegasus Equine 1600
Stilton Lynsey Satherley
It was a big run. They went quite quick up front and she struggled to go early. Will suit to go over 2000 metres next.
