PR Tipstar - 2019 Belmont Park Round One wrap

Rob Mason pinged the gates in the PR TipStar - 2019 Belmont Park tipping competition to win the first of the 19 rounds despite firing blanks in the final three races of the day.

Mason, whose PR TipStar - 2019 Belmont Park tipping competition alias is Robbie83, was one of just two players to place their big bet on Battle Torque and his selection of the Adam Durrant-trained track specialist, allied to his confidence in Daishio, was sufficient for him to take out Round One. Mason is a Perth Racing member so in the mail to him is not only a $250 voucher from Crown Perth but also a $350 cheque from Perth Racing. It pays to be a member.

Mason heads into Saturday's second round of the PR TipStar - 2019 Belmont Park tipping competition with a 236-point lead over his closest challenger but, as the saying goes, it is a marathon not a sprint.
