Bankers galore in Saturday’s Super 6

AFTER Sunday’s Reggae 6 upsetters, punters should get a break on Saturday with at least three identifiable bankers - BIG STACK, GALLANT GROOM and GOODBYE FIREFLY - all foreigners, in the second, third and fifth races, respectively.

TOM DULY turned the Reggae 6 on its head in the fifth event, sending all bets to the boneyard for a carryover of $5.2 million, accompanied by a single-winner bonus of $3.9 to Saturday’s meet.

Twilight 6 players were struck even deadlier, taken out by TOM DULY (59-1) and MILLINIUM STAR (9-1) before last rites were read by HAIL THE QUEEN at 25-1 in the eighth and EXPEDITIOUS at 21-1 in the ninth, closing a thumping day for bettors with a carryover of $3.8m.

Both bets should be easier this weekend, GOODBYE FIREFLY, DON KWESI and American debutant FIT TO FIRE being proposed Twilight 6 bankers.
