Champion jockey Douglas Whyte was in assertive mood, landing a four-timer and equalling his own record tally as he took the Jockey Challenge for the seventh time in his past eight attempts.
With the new Jockey Challenge format of betting in the run until race six, Whyte was already down to a price of 1.06 when the pool closed, even though the Durban Demon's day was just half over.
Big Profit opened Whyte's afternoon with trainer Danny Shum Chap-shing before he linked with John Size to claim the fifth (Perfect Match), seventh (Unique Jewellery) and last (Brilliant Chapter) races.
Brilliant Chapter's performance echoed his previous two victories, reeling off a brilliant sprint at the end of 1,200m to give his rivals nowhere to hide. 'He's a transformed horse and has a phenomenal turn of speed,' said Whyte.
'I went back today and I followed One World because I thought he was one of the other chances, but by the turn he was no more use to me. I've dropped him in a breath and gone and yet he's still kept on to finish second in the end.'
Size said the way Brilliant Chapter finishes his races off doesn't preclude the possibility he may run further but he's happy to keep him to 1,200m for now.
