The scintillating win of Vincent Mangano (pictured) in the Karaka Million capped off a good week for the bookies.

Cup day at Trentham saw the bookies come out in front with the defeats of the heavily backed Satinka, Pasta Post and Patrick, while the win of Young Centaur in the Gr I Century City Developments Wellington Cup proved to be a very good result.
