RIO salutes in Perth's 2014 Tipping Premiership
He scraped into the finals, he took all before him and he tipped like a man posessed throughout the finals series.
He had just two victories to his name in regular season, he added a further seven during the finals.
Perhaps his 17 placings should have told the story, however the fairytale concluded with RIO defeating Jordan $31 to $10.50
Four winners, including the $13 Our Pu Bear, highlighted the electric form RIO was in and Jordan was never going to be a match.
He wins the $500 worth of free bets thanks to PUNTA.com.au and Jordan takes the runner up prize of $200 worth.
Third placed smiddy197 saved his best for last with 4 winners and 2 placings to post an impressive win over Gilgamesh, also providing another upset on the last week of the season.
Perth Turf Talk would like to thank the sponsor PUNTA.com.au for their contribution and all of the participants in the inaugural event. Raceday will return in time to come.
