It was a tough day at the office at Sandown and Newcastle, but The Shark still managed to nail the 2020 Sandown Guineas for followers, even with hot favourite Aysar a late scratching…
Sandown Guineas
Aysar ($1.45) was a late scratching that had punters and bookies scrambling to find something else in the race, but The Shark had already spotted Allibor at $12/$4 for subscribers!
The Shark saw Allibor flash home late in the VRC Springtime Stakes from last place, and knew that this was not an opportunity to be missed at double figure odds.

Of course dreaded deductions reduced the price a bit, but it was still a massive result for The Shark Club, and there are now offers coming in from Hong Kong to buy this the talented galloper.

Newcastle
Overall it was a quiet day up north without much interesting The Shark, though we were on the end of an unlucky result in Race 4 with Surreal Step ($10) getting nabbed on the line in a bunched finish!

It was nearly an enormous collect at double figures for The Shark Club, but he’s already keen to bounce back and has his eyes on a few big roughies in the coming days! 👀
