Keys saddled up first-starter Gamble In Paris in the $75,000 Magic Millions 2YO Classic where he finished 11th, just under eight lengths from the winner.

However the Delago Deluxe gelding still earned his two female owners $10,000 courtesy of a Magic Millions Women In Racing bonus.

The bonus went to the first horse across the line 100 per cent owned or leased by women - and Gamble In Paris was the only runner in the race eligible to collect it.

"It's the only time I've ever gone to the races knowing that, regardless of what happened, my horse was going to pick up 10 gorillas," Keys said.

"It was nearly better than second prizemoney ($11,250)."

Keys said he wasn't expecting too much from the gelding because he was "a bit over the top" so it was a terrific result.

Gamble In Paris is raced by Keys' daughter Amber and his partner Heather Colgrave.

He was bought as a weanling on the Gold Coast for only $1500.

Magic Millions introduced the Women In Racing concept on the mainland in 2012 when it was hailed as a world first.

The company said the key aim of the initiative was to highlight and promote "the important roles played by women in the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry."

To add to a successful day for the family, Keys' other daughter Tegan trained her own winner, Amaword, who is also part-owned by Amber.

Todd Pannell has replaced the injured Luke Currie on Jentico in Wednesday's $150,000 Vamos Stakes.

Currie suffered a fractured vertebra, broken ribs and concussion in a fall at Moonee Valley on Friday night.

Victorian Jockeys Association chief executive Matthew Hyland said the former Launceston rider had surgery on Sunday and had come through it well and seemed in good spirits.

"He had his C6 and C7 fused and had a plate and some screws inserted," Hyland said.

"I think the recovery period would normally be a minimum of three months but I don't think anyone would be surprised if it's a little longer.

"It has come at a pretty ordinary time for Luke but it could always be a lot worse and I'm just happy that he'll make a full recovery."

The injury will cost Currie international rides on the Tony McEvoy stars Hey Doc and Sunlight who are due to race in Dubai and Royal Ascot.

McEvoy also trains Jentico who is $6.50 third favourite for the Vamos behind Deroche ($2.80) and Twitchy Frank ($4.50).

Former Spreyton-trained stayer Eastender has firmed in betting on the Sydney Cup after an eye-catching run at Rosehill on Saturday.

Eastender came from near-last to finish a close second to Mustajeer in the listed Paramatta Cup (1900m) at his second run after a spell.

Bookmakers reacted by moving him to the eighth line of betting at $15 for the $2 million Sydney Cup (3200m) on April 11.

Eastender won the 2019 Devonport, Hobart and Launceston cups when trained by Barry Campbell.

The six-year-old was transferred to Chris Waller in Sydney mid-year.

Ismail Toker was suspended for two meetings for careless riding in the opening race on Oaks Day.

Toker was found to have allowed Lady Joker to shift in at the 200m causing Red Roger to be tightened and lose his potition.

He will miss the meetings on March 4 and 7.
