Jockey Gabriell Pieterse scored the first Listed success of his career aboard Infinite Wonder in the Europa Point Drum Star Handicap over 1800m, the fifth leg of the R5,9-million Pick 6 at Turffontein.
The Sean Tarry-trained Litigation was widely regarded as a pick 6 banker, but he was well-beaten into second by Paul Matchett's Infinite Wonder.
For Pieterse it was a sweet victory as it gave him his 14th win in his 200th ride.
For most punters, though, it was bitter as it left only 27 live tickets with the provisional minimum payout up to R218,000.
