In a shocking result for punters Dubai Clare scored a shock win in the Double Vice Handicap at Gawler today, with a Clare in the saddle.

A member of the John Barns stable, Dubai Clare, a 40/1 despised outsider, scored a comprehensive win with Clare Lindop in the saddle.

A five-year-old daughter of the South Australian based sire Dubai Creek, Dubai Clare won the 1050 metre Class One event by a length and three quarters. Second home was another outsider West Street (20/1). The favourite Prince Blev (25/10) was third, a further one and a half lengths back.

Apart from that blow out result there was some joy for favourite punters on the eight event card.

Scenaraja (15/10) scored a runaway win in the first race, while Issapardee (16/10) and Cullen Bay (16/10) were also winning favourites.

Adelaide Hills based senior rider Jeffrey Maund took riding honours with a winning double. He was successful aboard Quick Class for Trevor Day before winning the last on the locally trained 10/1 pop Belikely for Kerri McAnulty.
