Check out the big bets that hit, and the ones that missed, on a massive day of racing around the country.
HITS
Caulfield – Race 4 No.6 – Tiger Shark – $5000 @ $6 (BetR)
Strong win from the former Queensland galloper around Caulfield. Had a big enough break on the favourite Oak Hill and she was able to hold off the challenge of that horse late.

He didn’t look to be loving life at the top of the straight and Buckaroo went straight past him. Took a while for the classy galloper to get into his gears but when he did, he was able to bridge back the margin on Buckaroo and get the victory.
SIR DELIUS ⭐
He is very, very good! Sir Delius wears down Buckaroo to win the Underwood in a desperate finish 😲 pic.twitter.com/nWPapF89pi

Booked his spot in the Caulfield Cup with a dominant victory in the Naturalism Stakes. Powered through the line like a horse that will be very competitive in the spring majors.

A dominant win in the Naturalism Stakes and now he’s into the Caulfield Cup! Can he win the big one? pic.twitter.com/hXXWn9N87q

Randwick – Race 6 No. 1 – Apocalyptic – $5000 @ $3 (Neds)
Randwick – Race 6 No. 1 – Apocalyptic – $1000 @ $3.10 (Colossal)
She was easy in betting but the market got it wrong with Michael Freedman’s filly far too good for them in the Tea Rose Stakes.
APOCALYPTIC ‼️
She sat three wide throughout and was still too strong! A terrific filly wins the Tea Rose ⭐@TommyBerry21@MFreedmanRacing@MyRacehorseAUpic.twitter.com/qH9suHR7mA

Lindermann had a strong kick and made it very nervous for Fangirl backers. But she knuckled down and nailed her stablemate right on the line in a very close photo.
HOW HAS SHE DONE THAT ‼️

Gold Coast – Race 1 No.7 – Make a Call – $10,000 @ $3.70 (BetR)
He’s a horse that took a very, very long time to win his first race but he’s now flying up in Queensland for Tony Gollan. It took him 21 starts to win a race but he’s now got three and looks to have more down the line.
MISSES
Caulfield – Race 6 No.6 – Vivid Sun – $10,000 @ $2.70 (BetR)
She settled up on the speed but didn’t have much to offer in the straight and faded to finish fifth. Did have to chase a hot speed set by The Playwright.

Sickening watch for favourite backers in the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes. Only got clear until the race was all over but he absolutely flew in that short period.
SEPALS IS A GROUP 1 STAR ⭐

Caulfield – Race 4 No. 4 – Oak Hill – $2000 @ $3.20 (Colossal)
His racing pattern is just making it hard for him to win races. Is always last and having to go past the lot at the top of the straight.

Just not on the level of these genuine Group 1 sprinters. Well supported to win first-up in The Shorts off plenty of hype but the unbeaten colt was unable to live up to it.
Randwick – Race 10 No.5 – Lord Penman – $44,500 to place@ $1.26 (Ladbrokes)
A sickening watch in the last for the favourite. Was trucking up on the inside before the gaps shut and he went to the line under a very firm grip.
Another nailbiter to round out Sydney Surf To Turf Day 🤯🤯🤯
Fortune for @ANeashamRacing and @ZacLloydx win by a nose over Narbold and Quietness 🏇 pic.twitter.com/qpcPwgonO7
