Zipping Novak runs new PB in Gosford Million Dollar Chase final
Zipping Novak put on a show when taking out the last of this year's Million Dollar Chase Regional finals at Gosford on Tuesday night.
The Jason Magri-trained dog lined up in the 515m final as a +180 prospect, with the Frank Hurst-trained Mia She's Fast pegged as a +110 race favourite with online bookmakers.
Jumping from box six, Zipping Novak pinged out to the lead as the field turned the first corner with Rebel Ethics (+3300) and Mia She's Fast in pursuit.
That would end up as the finishing order, with the winner saluting by five-and-a-quarter lengths in a new personal best of 29.17.
