The Brett Cavanough-trained Another Sin was backed in from $14 to start $3,20 and win the TAB Highway in a horror result for the sponsors.

TAB.com.au has supplied Racenet with a review of exchanges with punters at Rosehill on Saturday.

Race 1, TAB Highway: Another Sin ($14-$8-$3.20) landed one of the betting moves of the year. TAB went up $14 on Wednesday and as soon as betting opened, punters lined up. By Thursday morning $8 was available but money continued to come. By Friday afternoon it was hammered into $4. Another Sin bottomed out at $3 early this morning but started at $3.20, holding three times as much money as the second elect in Lifesaver ($4.80). The pair were one-two the entire race with Another Sin holding a slight advantage at the finish. The win by the Brett Cavanough-trained runner was a horror result for TAB which resulted in a massive six-figure payout. Prince Jacko ($17) grabbed third. BETS: Another Sin $5,000 @ $3.10, $1,500 @ $14 (taken Wednesday), $1,500 @ $10 (taken Wednesday); Cartel $3,000 @ $6

Race 2, BM80: King Viv had attracted support early in the morning but by race time had drifted back out. TAB went up $11 on Saturday morning but the son of Falkirk was backed into as low as $8.50. Settling just off the speed, jockey Tye Angland found clear space on the home turn with King Viv finishing too well for his rivals. Not A Gypsy ($7.50-$8.50) and Multifacets ($14-$11), the latter dictating terms out in front, filled the minors. Favourite backers sent out Vaucluse Bay at $1.75 after being $2.15 in the morning. Holding 73 percent of the total investment, the Chris Waller-trained runner sat outside the leader but was a spent force on the home turn. Of the others, Zourkhan drifted badly from $4.40 out to $9. BETS: Vaucluse Bay $5,000 @ $1.75, $4,000 @ $1.75.

Race 3, Open: Arbeitsam ($2.10-$1.95) led throughout much to the delight of favourite backers. The Waterhouse-Bott runner was twice as popular as the second elect in the market, Loyalty Man ($4.60-$4.40). Arbeitsam cleared out over the concluding stages to beat Classic Uniform ($8.50-$12-$10) and Sultan Of Swing ($15). Loyalty Man, the second best backed in terms of money held, held four times the amount of money than any other runner outside the favourite. BETS: Arbeitsam $2,292 @ $2, $4,000 @ $1.95.

Race 4, BM94: The money horse late in betting was Badajoz . Backed from $5 into $3.70 in the final hour of betting, the Godolphin-trained runner landed some nice bets. Getting a gun run in transit, third in running, Tye Angland had plenty of time and space in the straight to make his move. Badajoz was a shade too good for Denmagic ($9.50-$8), which sat outside the leader, and the frontrunner Selita ($9.50-$5). Favourite backers were left empty handed though after Sir Plush ($3.50) had little room in the straight. BETS: Badajoz $1,000 @ $5, $1,000 @ $4.20.

Race 5, BM83: The Pharoah ($2.80) led throughout to upset the move for Peacock. The Gerald Ryan-trained runner held half the money that Peacock ($4-$3.40) did and had that runner following it for the duration of the trip. Peacock had its chance to get The Pharoah but couldn't reel him in, with Hogmanay ($8.50) running on from the back to split the pair at the finish. Peacock held 40 percent of the money while The Pharoah was responsible for 21 percent. BETS: The Pharoah $3,500 @ $2.80; Peacock $3,000 @ $3.70, $2,500 @ $3.40.

Race 6, Rosebud: Menari defied the betting drift to score a big win. Although a noted drifter from it's opening price of $2.80 out to $3.50, TAB customers still rallied towards the Gerald Ryan-trained runner who carried the most money. Siege Of Quebec ($3.50-$2.90) overtook Menari for favouritism and gave a great sight out in front but couldn't hold off the finishing burst of the winner. Trekking ($4.40-$4.80) was third after sitting behind the leader. BETS: Menari $2,000 @ $3.70, $3,000 @ $3.50, $2,000 @ $3.40, $2,000 @ $3; Siege Of Quebec $4,000 @ $3.10.

Race 7, Open: There was some light specking late for Kingsguard ($9.50-$8.50) which proved to be spot on. Ridden a treat by Jay Ford, Kingsguard beat a host of unlucky runners including the runner-up Tom Melbourne. Having his debut for Chris Waller, Tom Melbourne was blocked for a run until late and flew home but that's little comfort for those who backed the horse from $4.60 into $3.40. Each-way punters didn't mind the value about Etymology ($17-$10) which finished third in front of the unlucky favourite Washington Heights ($2.60). The Gerald Ryan-trained favourite was responsible for 44 percent of the total investment. BETS: Washington Heights $6,624 @ $2.60, $5,000 @ $2.60; Tom Melbourne $2,000 @ $3.60; Kingsguard $2,000 @ $9.

Race 8, BM80: Elouera ($23-$34) caused a big upset in the third leg of the Quaddie. It was a rough result for punters with the Kathy O'Hara-ridden galloper holding only more money than the rank outsider in Mandalong Kiss. Faith's Encore ($5) once again had good backing but found one better. Prada Miss ($9.50-$13) ran on strongly for third and carried a fair bit of each-way support. Slumber Party ($2.80) went out as favourite but tired after racing outside the leader, Gretna ($6-$8-$7). BETS: Faith's Encore $2,000 @ $5.

Race 9, BM80: Special Missile ($3.40-$2.80) landed the cash in the final event. Punters thought it was a race in two between Special Missile and Imanui with the pair holding 71 percent of the total investment. Leading throughout for his fourth consecutive win, Special Missile beat Mapmaker ($19) and Nat King Cu ($10). Imanui ($3.40-$3-$3.20) simply got too far back but worked home strongly to get fourth. BETS: Special Missile $4,500 @ $2.90, $3,000 @ $2.80; Imanui $2,000 @ $3.50, $2,000 @ $3.10, $2,000 @ $3.
