Tapdog reveals his full ability
By NOEL McCULLOCH
IT WAS a fairytale come true for connections when local four-year-old Tapdog won yesterday's $25,000 Geraldton Swan Draught Gold Cup.
Having only his seventh race start, Tapdog was the medium of heavy support on course, that saw his price tumble from an opening quote of 5/2 to start a warm 7/4 favourite in the premier event.
Jockey Chris Usher had Tapdog in a prominent position as the field went past the winning post for the first time, where A Dude had worked his way to the front.
A Dude still had charge as the field approached the 1000m with Tapdog tucked away in third position and last year's winner Sir Donald, following his every move.
With only six or seven lengths covering the field, other favoured runners - Silver Sim, Fujiama, Boa Force and Sky's Will - were close enough to play a part in what was developing into a sprint home.
