Big Bets Review: $150,000 bet misses in Brisbane

Here's how the big money fared across the corporates on Doncaster Mile day, including a $150,000 crack on one in Brisbane that missed the mark.

HITS

Randwick Race 5 No.11 Sizzle Minizzle – $1000 @ $61 (Sportsbet)

One punter in particular was very pleased to see the Robb-trained gelding win the $500,000 Country Championships.

Randwick Race 7 No.6 I Wish I Win – $10,000 @ $8 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 7 No.6 I Wish I Win – $10,000 @ $11 (TAB)

Randwick Race 7 No.6 I Wish I Win – $5000 @ $8.50 (Pointsbet)

The faith in Peter Moody's freakish galloper was repaid here, flipping the Newmarket result on In Secret and co in some style.

Randwick Race 8 No.2 Mr Brightside – $30,000 @ $5.50, $15,000 @ $5.50, $10,000 @ $5.50, $10,000 @ $6 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 8 No.2 Mr Brightside – $5000 @ $6 (neds)

Randwick Race 8 No.2 Mr Brightside – $5000 @ $5 (TAB)

The Hayes-trained galloper just keeps on producing on the big stage, backing up his All-Star Mile win with his second straight Doncaster.

Randwick Race 8 No.4 My Oberon – $2500 e/w @ $81/$19 (Sportsbet)

The Neasham-trained import showed what he could do on Aus debut at The Valley in October. He hadn't really been able to replicate that run until Saturday, when he looked the winner at one point before being held out by Mr Brightside. Still, a handsome collect for this punter.

Randwick Race 9 No.13 Major Beel – $2000 @ $35 (Sportsbet)

The Waterhouse/Bott galloper was a surprise winner, but not to this punter, who had full faith they'd be fit and firing for a Derby tilt.

Bendigo Race 8 No.9 Here To Shock – $20,000 @ $4 (Sportsbet)

Didn't get things his own way out in front like he has in recent times, but still was far too good for them.

Ascot Race 8 No.13 Amelia's Jewel – $15,000 @ $2.05 (Sportsbet)

The freak filly tuned up for The Quokka in fine style on Saturday.

Ascot Race 9 No.6 Catch These Hands – $30,000 @ $3 (Sportsbet)

The fav got the chocolates in the last, much to the pleasure of this punter who may or may not have been blasting out.

MISSES

Randwick Race 1 No.1 Barber – $20,000 @ $3.60 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 2 No.8 Cosmic Field – $10,000 @ $12 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 3 No.6 Nerve Not Verve – $10,000 @ $8 (Sportsbet)

Wasn't a great start to day one of the Championships for these punters, with Cosmic Field starting $14 and getting beaten 17L+.

Randwick Race 4 No.3 Sequestered – $11,800 @ $2 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 4 No.3 Sequestered – $5000 @ $2.35 (neds)

The Godolphin filly didn't quite ping over the 2000m journey the first time, with Ed Cummings filly Arts upstaging his brother James' stable.

Randwick Race 5 No.7 Bianco Vilano – $4000 @ $7.50 (Pointsbet)

Had to settle for 4th, only half-a-length off runner-up Talbragar.

Randwick Race 6 No.1 Cylinder – $25,000 @ $2.50 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 6 No.1 Cylinder – $7000 @ $2.30 (neds)

Randwick Race 6 No.1 Cylinder – $4700 @ $2.10 (TAB)

Might've been out of gas.

Randwick Race 7 No.10 Giga Kick – $10,000 @ $6.50 (TopSport)

Randwick Race 7 No.10 Giga Kick – $8000 @ $4.60 (neds)

Randwick Race 7 No.10 Giga Kick – $6666 @ $4.60 (Ladbrokes)

Admirable run in defeat by The Everest champ, continuing to vindicate Clayton Douglas' confidence in him.

Randwick Race 8 No.8 Duke De Sessa – $5000 @ $23 (Sportsbet)

The entire was beaten 3.4L in the Doncaster, which marked his Aus debut.

Randwick Race 9 No.1 Sharp ‘N' Smart – $25,000 @ $3.60, $20,000 @ $3.80 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 9 No.1 Sharp ‘N' Smart – $55,000 @ $3.50 (TAB)

Randwick Race 9 No.1 Sharp ‘N' Smart – $6000 @ $3.90 (neds)

Randwick Race 9 No.1 Sharp ‘N' Smart – $4000 @ $3 (TAB)

Randwick Race 9 No.1 Sharp ‘N' Smart – $3000 @ $4.20 (Ladbrokes)

It wasn't to be for the Spring Champion winner, denied in a Derby in Aus for the second time, having been narrowly beaten in the Victorian Derby.

Randwick Race 9 No.4 Pericles – $12,500 @ $4 (Pointsbet)

The doubts about his staying ability will certainly linger after he was beaten by 8L.

Randwick Race 10 No.3 Dashing Legend – $43,500 @ $13, $30,000 @ $12 (Sportsbet)

Randwick Race 10 No.2 Opal Ridge $30,000 @ $1.40 place (Topsport)

No joy for these punters in the last, with Opal Ridge's fourth placing particularly sick after the favourite got on heels and blundered mid-race.

Bendigo Race 4 No.7 Sing for Peace – $4000 @ $2.60 (Topsport)

The race fave finished 3L off winner Caboche.

Bendigo Race 8 No.5 Munhamek – $81,500 @ $2.90 (Sportsbet)

The Golden Mile fav finished 4L behind winner Here To Shock.

Doomben Race 8 No.6 Manhood – $150,000 @ $2.40 (Sportsbet)

Beaten 0.93L, meaning the bookies got the lot here.

Doomben Race 9 No.9 Tenzing $34,000 @ $1.70 place (Topsport)

Another to fall short of the collect by a narrow margin, knocked out of the placings by 0.18L.
