Some poetic justice today.

On Bairnsdale Race 2 (3yo Maiden) $9,319 was plonked (Vic TAB) on No.12 Sandy's Joy at the 30 minute mark prior to official jump. Consequently, Sandy's Joy was showing $1.40 whilst No.3 Casa Del Royale (and eventual winner) displayed $5.20.

Our corporate bookie website openers showed Sandy's Joy 1.85 and Casa Del Royale 3.20 - no doubt in response to the TAB figures.

But.......surprise, surprise. At the 15 minute mark $8,421 of the win bet on Sandy's Joy was cancelled on the Vic TAB. It's price ballooned to 8.9 whilst money poured onto Cas Del Royale which shortened on the TAB into 2.40.

Official bookie fluctuations show Cas Del Royale backed from 3.5 into SP 2.00 fav. Sandy's Joy blew like a garden gate and was never sighted. Casa Del Royale led throughout winning easily.

A subtle sting that you won't read about in tomorrows paper.
