When Broadsiding failed to make it first past the post in the Caulfield Guineas, a stack of multi-bets simultaneously went up in flames.McDonald flew into town needing just one group 1 win to take his tally to an unprecedented 100 for his career – at 32, no jockey in Australian history has ridden so many top-level sprinters so quickly.
The group 1 Guineas threw up a similar result. Ridden by Damien Lane, 12-1 shot Private Life jumped to the front, held the lead, and won. Third-placed jockey Michael Dee, on Evaporate, was left to lament what might have been. Instead, we are left to ponder what might have been. And Melbourne racegoers were also left to curse Sydney. Again.
Shinn showed his peers that good things can happen when you seize the initiative. He was stuck last on Antino on a day that everyone claimed you could not make up ground in the home straight.
