Well, it was a thrilling finish. It was a beauty. A finish worthy of the annals of racing history (that's annals with TWO n's), worthy to be hung up in TAB's and back yard bar's like the old triple dead heat in the Hotham Hcp. And what would the caption say? Something like this I reckon: "Testa hangs on in a beauty!" because, yes, as Sportz alluded, Tuesday being the final day of May was supposed to be the final day of the comp, I just thought it'd be good to end it on a Wednesday, so extended it a day, but when I extended it I did not consider that I might make some final burst (of which I thought I was incapable) to pinch it, I just wanted to extend the drama a little. For me, the drama is as fun as the comp itself.
So, well done Testa. It's a much deserved win. You led basically all the way, and those horses are the ones which I most admire. You held strong, and deserve to win the comp.
Enjoy the champagne and multiple naked buxom blondes which I assume will follow.
Well done all for participating, thanks for the help and thanks for the support. Sorry if I ain't always been that efficient though.
So, kiddies, the next comp?
