A strange day of racing with Moonee Valley abandoned after just five races, but The Shark was still able to make the most of the conditions and get home an each way win before then! The Shark was also seeing them well in Sydney, with a few nice results for The Shark Club!
Moonee Valley
Rain was predicted and it was expected that the track would be downgraded to a heavy, but no one expected the severity of the downpour, the track quickly getting to a heavy 10, and the meeting having to be abandoned.
You had to be leading to have any chance of winning, with runners simply unable to make up any ground in the slog. As such, Kentucky Tornado and Tarcoola Diva can be forgiven.
The Shark was still able to make the most of the wet conditions, with Lady Loft securing a place behind the impressive Tailleur at a very generous $5.50 price.
Watch: Lady Loft secure a $5.50 place result for The Shark Club!

That was some performance from odds-on pop Tailleur @TheValley, racing away with ease to bolt in under Mark Zahra for @JamesCummings88 and @godolphin 🐎💨pic.twitter.com/3GZu2DvK9O

Randwick
New King was disappointing given the nature of his win last start, and was unable to make up ground after a slow start.
Also disappointing was Melody Belle, who was unconvincing in the Winx Stakes (1400m), and has subsequently been sent back home to New Zealand.
The Shark pulled out a few big results, with Snowden filly Dame Giselle leading all the way and getting home at $4.50 after crossing impressively from the wide gate.

The Shark Club’s day was capped off after a big run from Chris Waller’s Yonkers, who snagged a place at a very handy $5 price, beating home some far more fancied runners, like stablemate Kinane.
