One person who will have welcomed the introduction of TAB’s new second Jackpot at Fairview on Friday’s is Ridgemont jockey Greg Cheyne.
The new bet was introduced for the first time at the meeting and incorporates the last four races.
Cheyne won race 5 on Madam Speaker (5-10), Race 6 on Ontenderhooks (11-2), Race 7 on Samar (14-10) and Race 8 on Miss Jacksonville (5-1).
The second Jackpot, while producing a substantially lower pool than the first Jackpot on the afternoon, returned a dividend of R296.20 – a nice payout considering two of them were hot favourites.
