Talented Pierro gelding Osipenko doesn’t overdo the business of winning, having been out of pole position since taking a Listed race at Rosehill in January, but he picked a lucrative race in which to return to form landing the $750,000 ATC Little Dance (1600m) at Randwick on Cup Day.
With jockey Mark Zahra in sensational form so far during the Melbourne Cup carnival, it was the Henry Dwyer trained Ghaiyyath 3yo Different Gravy who gave the leading jockey his sixth win from just nine rides so far, charging from back in the field to win the Listed $200,000 VRC TAB Trophy (1800m) on Tuesday.
