Those looking for an omen bet on the neddies today would have blown their cash on a horse called Djockovic. (Yes, we know, there is a random C in its name, but blame the owners not us.)

The Simon Zahra-trained gelding finished fifth of six runners in the first race at Geelong. The race was won by a nag called Rock The Bar, which might have been a better bet for tennis fans soaking up the atmosphere in the Melbourne Park boozing precincts.

The horse’s tennis-playing namesake, who has won 24 grand slam singles titles, looks to be faring far better at Rod Laver Arena at this very minute.

Djokovic has taken a 4-1 lead in the fourth set against Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria, as well as leading the match two sets to one.
