Now for the Breeders' Classic....

The Aussies must be spitting up their barbicued prawns ,was there any AUS horses entered ? Closing stages

Just two, Niwot and The Verminator

Empathy for the runner up connections..... farking 0.05 mm behind the winner

Coverage superb, a dead heat would have been a good call imo

Congrats to Oscar ... the only one to call Dunaden ... hope you had a few rands on.

Like you say Dave, the coverage was excellent ... and the commentators didn't say "awsome" even once, LOL!
