Tom Burbidge collected $40,000 Australian dollars (US$36,800) for winning the prestigious professional gift race yesterday and was immediately fined A$5,000 (US$4,600) by the Victorian state Athletic League for inconsistent performances.
The 25-year-old Burbidge started the weekend as a 30-1 chance but became an odds-on favorite to win the 129th running of the Stawell Gift after dominating the heats on Saturday. He finished the 120-meter race in 12.01 seconds. Burbidge had been run out in the semifinals of a Melbourne gift race in the semifinals eight days earlier in a time more than one-second slower than his winning run at Stawell. The Victorian Athletic League ruled that Burbidge had underperformed in the Melbourne event, which gave him an improved handicap in the Stawell race.
