Big bets review: The hits and misses from Saturday racing

Bjorn Baker filly provided a fill-up for a number of punters. Overall it was a frustrating Saturday for the big bets with a stack of second placings.

$40,000 on Passeggiata, $20,00 on Royal Entrance and $3000 on Netanyahu were big bets from Saturday racing. The Leon and Troy Corstens gelding took out race six at Sandown by 0.4L having jumped at $10.

First Light was popular in betting, but he finished 4th behind Logan Street Lion. Detonator Jack finished runner-up behind veteran So Is Bon. Bel Air was well-backed during the week, he charged home, and he was beaten by Silentstar. Semana jumped as the $3.50 second favourite, she faded and was found to be lame post-race. Green Shadows has been costly for punters of late, finishing runner up for a third straight start. Worthily drifted back out to $8. 50. Wahine Toa finished fourth in his return.
