Sea Siren takes out Doomben 10,000
TAB Sportsbet customers figured the Doomben 10,000 would be a two-horse race and that's exactly how it panned out.
The Fixed Odds market for the race saw Sea Siren and Buffering hold the most money in the race with the pair starting at the head of betting.
Sea Siren attracted bets of $5,000 @ $4.20, $4,000 @ $4.20 and $3,000 @ $4.40.
The three-year-old greeted the judge, much to the delight of her backers, as she outsprinted Buffering in the run to the line.
Blue blowout in Premiers Cup
Fantastic Blue's victory in the Premiers Cup at Doomben this afternoon proved to be a blowout for punters.
Scoring at odds of $81 on Fixed Odds and over $111 on the NSW TAB, Fantastic Blue upset the fancied Dance With Her and Ironstein.
Race favourite Wazn was supported from $4.80 into $4.00, however, he failed to figure in the finish.
Early double gets the cash
One TAB Sportsbet customer got in early today to pocket nearly $60,000.
Taking a Fixed Odds racing double, they outlaid $4,000 @ $14.25 on Zamorar (Caulfield) and Air Comet (Rosehill) to win their respective races.
The pair saluted in the opening events in Sydney and Melbourne and the punter walked away with $57,000.
