Sunday, 29 January 2006 00:00

Top Tasmanian horseman Charlie Goggin was the star of today's Hobart Guineas meeting with four winners - including two at huge odds.

Among Goggin's quartet of victories was King's Scholar shock win at 50/1 in the feature of the day - the listed $55,400 Moorilla Estate Hobart Guineas (1600m).

He also won the listed $50,500 WFA Tattersall's Stakes with consistent performer A Dreamer.

The other two winners for Goggin came with the runaway juvenile winner Rustia and the 50/1 pop Mr Buttkicka in the Ingham Jockey Club Cup.

Riding honours at the meeting went to Brendan McCoull with a treble. His winners were Rustia, Aprilia and Jennifer - the latter in the listed Wrest Point 1000 Guineas at listed level.

Jennifer, a daughter of former Lynden Park Stud stallion Lion Cavern, produced a brilliant finish to get up and beat Melbourne filly Tagine by three parts of a length.
