A fairytale ending for Gai Waterhouse. Just to add to the drama, unfortunately the jockey Damien Olivier was suspended last year for backing an opposing horse in the same race he rode. Her husband Robbie was banned many years in what was called the "Fine Cotton" scandal. In the Fine Cotton scandal he and others switched the horse Fine Cotton with a much superior horse in a lower grade race. Backed in from 33s to about 3/1 it duly won. Unbelievably his associates painted the horses leg with paint to look like the correct horse was running but the paint started to run on the horses leg has it came back in the parade ring. So when Fiorente the movie comes out it will be a movie with high drama and a real winner.
