Editor BOAY

Revelation Rapaki Rocks ‘rocked’ Sandown Park tonight with a sizzling 29.24sec win in a Group 1 Harrison-Dawson heat (515m).

But he deservedly earned sibling bragging rights snaring his fifth win from 17 starts, including three from four over this track/distance. It was a nice consolation for Briganti considering Big Opal Rocks – second elect at $5.00 in ‘All In’ betting – failed to qualify for next…

But as the racecaller so descriptively commented: “There were a few heart…
