Gordon Elliott is heading towards the remarkable score of 50 winners at Perth, but he had to settle for just one on an afternoon when he saddled a strong team at the track.
The County Meath-based handler, who notched two trebles on his last visit, had to suffer three second places in the first three races.
Definite All Star lost a duel with Baaher on the run-in, Right Or Wrong was no match for the odds-on Billie Magern, and Nedzer's Return was beaten in a photo-finish by Bucephalus. Elliott finally got on the scoresheet with Shopfrontspecialst in the Queen Tribute Band July 27th Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.
