Words donât come easy to describe the colossal performances of Rockhampton racing stakeholders and their treasured thoroughbreds at the mega Gold Coast races on Saturday.
In such a case it is said dollars talk all languages and louder than words so letâs let the moola do all the talking to provide a clear perspective.
Of the $1.65 million base prize money on offer, the five Rockhampton-connected horses won $471,850.

IT WAS a momentous albeit “magic” day for a group of Rockhampton racing stakeholders on Saturday when they shared in the spoils of a trio of feature wins at Eagle Farm in Brisbane.
All three winners - Master Jamie, Sweet Dolly and Alpine Edge - are owned fully or in part by well-known Rocky racing identities, while the trio were graduates of Magic Millions Gold Coast Sales.
