RACING: Many punters expected Troy Pascoe to continue on his winning way at Clifford Park today, but while most proved wide of the mark with their selection there was no stopping the Toowoomba trainer adding to his successful week.

Pascoe saddled stable pair Line Up ($10) and 2.20 favourite Rapido Gris in the Pryde’s Easifeed Biomar Cubes Class 2 Handicap (1200m).

But while Rapido Gris was out of luck with a late-finishing third, Line Up saved the stable’s day with a strong finishing victory.

Line Up arrived for jockey Brad Pengelly to nail Accumulated ($20), who looked all over a winner at the 200-metre mark, for a short-neck victory.

Rapido Gris was a further short neck back third.

“She drew the barrier one, and that really helped her,” Pengelly said.

“It was just a matter of keeping in touch with them without getting out of my ground.

“To her credit she finished the race off nice enough.

“She had a soft run and that helped her. That’s the benefit of barrier one.”

Pascoe, who was successful at Clifford Park on Tuesday with Victory Dance, said a six-week break between runs for Line Up was not a concern going into the race.

“She’s not a great doer so I wasn’t too worried about the break,” Pascoe said.

“She’s had enough work going into the race and Brad’s ridden her a treat, which also helped.”

Quart Pot ($3.80 fav) broke her Clifford Park “maiden” in good style for Tooowoomba trainer Ducky Baker and jockey Emma Ljung with an authoritative win in the Pryde’s Easifeed Easiperformance Benchmark 58 Handicap (1300m).

The Bel Esprit three-year-old beat off a brief challenge from runner-up Sir Bam ($9) at the 200 metres to score by 1½ lengths.

Quart Pot was unplaced in five previous Clifford Park starts but today’s step in distance helped break her lean home run.

“She’s been very unlucky here a few times, but I have been running her over distances too short for her,” Baker said.

“It’s good to see her win for Emma too. She rides a lot of work for me.”

Ljung said improved luck in running allowed Quart Pot to produce her best.

“Once I got a good position, I just needed the gap to open up and she did the rest,” Ljung said.

Ljung went on to complete a winning race-to-race double aboard Scone visitor Another Sin ($3.70) in the Pryde’s Easifeed Racing Cube Class 4 Handicap (1050m).

Another Sin added to trainer Brett Cavanough and Ljung’s midweek success with Rhyming Puppet when he staved off King Of The Desert ($4.20) to score by a short neck.

THE WIN

SCONE visitor ANOTHER SIN looked the class act of the Class 4 and had the weight in 60kg to go with it. He showed plenty of ticker in the home straight to outlast King Of The Secret and make it two from two at Clifford Park.

THE TRAINER

TOOWOOMBA trainer LYNDA POWELL made it three wins from just a handful of new-year runners when Skye Bogenhber brought Gotta Be First with a late charge to take out the Class 1 Plate.

THE RIDER

EMMA LJUNG is fast settling back into the winning groove and capped a successful week with good displays to get both Quart Pot and Another Sin home. Ljung’s day was later soured by an 11-day suspension starting next Sunday.

AFTER THE LAST

Race 1: Here Rapido Gris was easy to lay at 2.3 and there was phone bet of $1000 best tote. Love Yers All had the connections money on at 6.00. There was rough specking for Sizzling Sun at 18.00. The winner Line Up was 11.00 and not supported on track to start the bookies off on the right foot.

Race 2: An open betting Benchmark 58. Uno Eyno was hard to lay and the bookies were 5.50 with no real takers. Column had support at 6.50. The winner In Quart Pot was 4.60 into start 3.80 on the QOP and was break-square result for the bookies.

Race 3: There was good support for The Great Boombino at 3.10. Start Aadele was a big drifter and the bookies were 10.00 with no real takers. The winner in Another Sin was another big mover on the QOP 4.80 into start 3.07 and ridden a treat by Emma Ljung; the bookies dodged a bullet and lost small on the race.

Race 4: The connections unloaded on Enraged and could have been a bad result for the bookies. Saddle Boy was specked at 21.00 and maybe one to watch in the future. Flying Eddie saw small each way bets at 7.00. The winner Christmas Creek was easy to lay at 3.40 and paid unders on the tote.

Race 5: The favourite Heart Attack was the big tip and easy to lay at 3.00 and then the money came on the QOP. A follow bet of $1500 at 2.50 made it the best-backed horse of the night. Northern Dragon saw each bets at 7.00. The winner Gotta Be First was 7.00 and no real support.

Race 6: The favourite Unusual Aunt was easy to lay at 2.00. There was one phone bet of $1200 at 2.10. Strong Desire was hard to lay and the bookies were 4.20 with no takers. The winner Tyrian was ridden a treat by Min Kennedy and started at 5.00 for a chop-out result for the bookies.

Race 7: The money came first for Serin at 4.0 and there was a phone bet of $1500 at 4.00 and follow up cash bets. Mocking was hard to lay and the bookies had to go 2.50 to see any money. The winner After The Storm was 12.00 into start 9.50 and saw a commission from Springsure on the omen bet. Bookies went home winners on the night.
