Apprentice jockey Boris Thorton learned a hard lesson when beaten aboard the short-priced favourite Privlaka in the first at the Sunshine Coast.

The young man rode the favourite like he could do whatever he wanted but his over-confidence came back to bite him when he couldn’t get out until too late and the bird had flown.

Social media lit up like someone was giving away free money with punters furious at the poor ride. Privlaka had been $1.60 favourite into its starting price of $1.40 and punters were left with nothing but a hard lesson and anger.

The unlucky run of Privlaka allowed Beaudesert trainer Kenneth Deacon to continue his winning run with offspring of the broodmare Little Dabl Dooya in an upset win at Caloundra on Saturday.

Little Dabl Dooya’s son, Yaba Dal Dooya ($8), beat the favourite Privalka ($1.45) by a short head in the Savills Handicap (1200m).

Deacon said Little Dabl Dooya had been a great broodmare for his stable over the years.

“We have had six foals out of the mare but we retired her recently when she had a bad internal bleed. Her last foal was by the sire Holy Roman Emperor and we have high hopes for it,” he said.

“Yaba Dabl Dooya has been the best performed of her off spring and that was ninth win. If you look at his form it is behind some very smart horses.”

Michael Cahill stole a winning march on Yaba Dabl Dooya when he was able to kick clear at the 250m mark when Privlaka was held up for a run.

“He fought on well when Privlaka made his late charge but the line came up in time,” Cahill said.
