Lucky Hussler wins 2016 Jewel Magic Millions Cup R.L $945,000 at Gold Coast (QLD), 1400m.
Lucky Hussler was handily placed in seventh place until the home turn but was briefly held up before Glen Boss switched to the rails from the 300m. He hit the front on passing the 200m and then drew clear to score quite impressively under his 60.5kg top weight.
Strawberry Boy went to the front as expected and travelled comfortably before James McDonald elected to pinch a break approaching the home turn. He was only headed on passing the 200m and then fought well for a good second while South Australian trained Baligari was sixth to the home turn and battled on nicely for a sound third without looking dangerous.
Murt The Flirt had a good trip from his inside barrier (1) racing in third place and held on for (5.6 lengths) fourth.
