07 | The Ring In â Who's Kidding Who?
When a Sydney gangster is gunned down, speculation is rife that he may have been the mastermind behind the Fine Cotton ring-in. But then, a surprise confession from a notorious bank robber and career criminal changes everything.
06 | The Ring In â Stainless Steel Bracelets
Hayden Haitana has become the most well-known â and loved â fugitive in Australia. But the law finally catches up with him and the other culprits. But who's taking care of Fine Cotton? And who will be thrown under the bus?
05 | The Ring In â Follow The Dough
In the wake of Haitana's television expose, new players enter the story â in particular, one dogged racing official determined to get beyond the denials and cover-ups.
04 | The Ring In â Hold All Tickets
When the disqualification is announced, all hell breaks loose and the Gillespie crew scatter to the winds. Soon the failed ring-in is making headlines around the country. Hayden and Gillespie hatch a deal to spill the beans on Australia's biggest current affairs show: 60 Minutes.
03 | The Ring In â Race Day
By some sort of miracle, the horse (that vaguely looks like Fine Cotton) makes it to the barrier. At 33-1 odds, the gang looks set to make a motza, but suddenly everyone's in on the scam. The odds tumble as bets are placed on Fine Cotton to win from as far away as Sydney, Tasmania and even Papua New Guinea.
02 | The Ring In â The Painted Pony
A week out from race day disaster strikes. The fast horse meant to replace Fine Cotton is injured and his sub-in is the wrong colour. The creative solution? Multiple trips to the chemist and a long boozy night of applying women's hair dye to a horse.
01 | The Ring In â My Friends Call Me Haitch
Meet Hayden Haitana, the lovable, ever-so-slightly dodgy horse trainer who lands himself in Australia's biggest racing scandal. He's going straight, no more shortcuts to win. Until his brother introduces him to conman John Gillespie, and a horse called Fine Cotton.
