Fly-in jockey Anthony Darmanin opened the night racing season with a gem of a ride aboard Winning Witness ($6.50 – $11), who was having just her second start in Launceston on Friday night.

A horse that won his first start as a 2YO at Caulfield, won at Group 3 level at his second start, has had six different training combinations and at his most recent runs was unplaced in two picnic races in Victoria, could well be the best bet on the card in Hobart on Sunday.

Thoroughbred racing returns to Hobart for the first time since Cup Day for a nine-race program on Sunday.

The Kevin Sharkie Thousand Guineas has thrown up some rough results in the past, but few were as despised in the market as Sunday’s winner of the three-year-old fillies’ classic Gee Gee Enuf Speed.
