Cyber City's owner Andrew Knox is laughing all the way to the bank with $15,000 collect for $200 bet
Cyber City's owner Andrew Knox is laughing all the way to the bank after he collected more than $15,000 for a $200 outlay when his roughie caused a huge upset at Doomben on Saturday. The David Murphy -trained gelding paid $51 when he crossed the finishing post a whopping seven lengths ahead of the fourth-placed $3 favourite Idyllic Affair in a 3YO Handicap over 1350m. 'The (2.1) multiplier on the Queensland TAB app gave me odds of 102/1 for a $100 bet,' a cashed-up Knox said on Sunday. 'Then I had $100 on at Ladbrokes for $51. Ladbrokes offered me an owner's bet – for up to $2000 you get your money back if the horse runs second or third. 'The night before when it came through on my phone it was $61 so I was kicking myself I didn't get on at that price. 'I picked up $15,000 for $200. I went and bought a carton of beer, I've got it in the fridge now. 'When he turned into the corner, I knew he had them because I was watching all the horses behind him and they just weren't progressing forward. 'I thought 'we've got this' and then when he started to kick around the 200m mark I thought 'this is over'.' 🗣ï¸� | "Cyber City by 5..." ðŸ�‡ CYBER CITY (3g) puts 5Ls on his rivals to win today's metro QTIS 3YO Handicap at Doomben over 1350m for trainer David Murphy. Raced and bred by Mr A Knox, the gelding is by Telemon Thoroughbreds SUN CITY. More â'¹ï¸� — Thoroughbred Breeders Queensland (@QldBreeders) August 16, 2025 Knox said he wasn't surprised at Cyber City's victory, believing the gelding should have won his previous race after being caught wide in a Maiden Plate (1100m) at Ipswich on July 31. Before that, Cyber City finished sixth to the Paul Shailer -trained filly Ha'penny Hatch, who went on to run in the $1m Group 2 BRC Sires Produce Stakes (1400m) at Eagle Farm in late May. 'If you go back and watch the replay, my horse could've beaten him that day or at least it would've been a fight at the end,' the 61-year-old Knox said. 'Cyber City got caught in a bunch of horses and got boxed in. He pulled up a little bit sore after the race so we put him in the paddock. 'He comes from a really good family. I've had the mare (Star Council) since about 2003 – I bought her as a yearling from the Brisbane Bloodstock sales.' • Concussed jockey 'should never have been allowed to go home' After saluting at Doomben on Saturday at 52kg, jockey Taylor Marshall said Cyber City had 'plenty of potential, he's very untapped and raw'. Murphy was worried that the 'aggressive' galloper would go too hard early but Marshall did well to get him into a nice rhythm. 'Once he gets a bit of experience then he'll settle down because he's like a bull at a gate at the moment,' said Knox, who was born and raised in Longreach and now flies between Brisbane and Western Australia as a FIFO mines worker driving road-trains. 'I know he'll get to a mile because the whole family have been really good milers. ' Longshoreman (whose dam was Star Council) was a very good horse over a mile, he won a Balaklava Cup (in 2014). 'Next year he'll be a really good winter carnival horse, that's what David's opinion was.'

Lexie Brant, 21, crowned Miss Universe Australia
Queenslander Lexie Brant has taken home the crown at this year's Miss Universe Australia final in Perth. The 21-year-old model and occupational therapy student, who works as a medical secretary and has 6000 followers on Instagram, beat out 29 other contestants to claim the coveted crown. The natural beauty, who was smiling from to ear as was she crowned, follows in the footsteps of previous winners-turned-household names Olivia Molly Rogers, Maria Thattil, Laura Dundovic and Jennifer Hawkins. Miss Universe Australia shared the moment on its social media, writing that it 'can't wait' to see her shine in November, when Ms Brant represents the country at the Miss Universe competition in Thailand. Her win was similarly celebrated online, with Australians declaring it as 'well deserved'. 'You look amazing and must be so proud,' one social media user wrote. 'You are just amazing,' another commented. 'So awesome,' a third person said. Ahead of the competition, Ms Brant was relatively unknown – telling Gold Coast Magazine she was a 'quiet girl' growing up, never the first to raise her hand or speak up. Competing in Miss Universe, Ms Brant added, was a sign of how far her confidence has come. 'Entering Miss Universe Australia was about doing something original and intentionally outside my comfort zone,' she said. 'I wanted to challenge myself, not only in how I present myself physically, but also in how I carry myself emotionally and mentally.' She added that the experience has reminded her to 'stay curious' and has been just as much about 'inner confidence' as outer presentation.
