Rio to end Tony's bad run.

Tony Mallia, one time pupil of master reinsman Brian Gath, has a first hand knowledge of the roller-coaster life of horse racing.

Rio Dollar showed tremendous promise as a two-year-old last season, winning at Terang as his first start.

He held his form for a number of starts before being spelled.

A false start at Kilmore had the field travel for a lap before being pulled up. The race was run again but unfortanly Rio would be beaten by the favorite.

A disappointed Mallia fired in a most unusual protest against the starter for being incompetent. To encourage the stewards to call an no race. Stewards didn't see it Mallia's way.
