Owner collects $15,000 bet with Cyber City's Doomben win
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. 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. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! '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'.' • Maloney warms up for Melbourne mission with Doomben double 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.' The David Murphy-trained Cyber City wins at big odds at Doomben on Saturday. Picture: Grant Peters / Trackside Photography • 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.'

Santos set to start fracture stimulation of Yarrow 1 well
The fracture stimulation of the Yarrow 1 well in the Innamincka Dome project in South Australia is due to start in the next few days. Red Sky Energy has announced that Santos, the project operator, is currently mobilising the necessary equipment for the procedure, aimed at increasing gas flow and well productivity. The anticipated post-stimulation production rates for the Yarrow 1 well are estimated to be between 1.6 and 3.6 million standard cubic feet per day (mscf/d). The well is projected to reach full operational status in the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2025), complementing the existing production from Yarrow 3. The Innamincka Dome project encompasses six petroleum tenements (PRLs 14, 17, 18, 180, 181 and 182). Red Sky holds a 20% working interest in six petroleum retention licences (PRLs) within the Innamincka Dome, located near the township of Innamincka in north-east South Australia, and Santos holds the remaining 80% stake. Red Sky managing director Andrew Knox said: "We are pleased to confirm that fracture stimulation at Yarrow 1 is scheduled to proceed shortly, with all required equipment being mobilised to site. This marks a significant milestone in unlocking the well's full production potential and delivering further value to our shareholders.' The Yarrow field is estimated to have a 2C contingent resource of up to 18 billion cubic feet (bcf). A potential 20bcf of 2C of associated gas is estimated at the Flax oilfield 8km to the south east of Yarrow. In January this year, Red Sky secured a contract for exploration in Angola's offshore block 6/24. Situated 12km off the Angolan coast in the Kwanza Basin, the block encompasses 1,531km² of 2D seismic data and 1,465km² of 3D seismic data.
