In the same race in which Deus Ex galloped – the $30 000 Group 3 Be Good Johnny Sprint – driver Chantal Turpin propelled her horse Will The Wizard off the gate and attacked the leader and favourite Turnitup mercilessly, forcing that horse’s driver Shane Graham to run a suicidal 26.6 second first quarter and then keeping the pressure it so that Graham had to run splits of 29.8 seconds and 28 seconds in the middle sections. This effectively cost the favourite the race, because its tanked was juiced by the time they hit the top of the straight and the race was set up for the swoopers.
