Yep, was looking rather bleak before the last winner, but Bondy was beaten a head and Danny Blue copped a check two or three times in the last 400m.

Still, made a $140.00 loss on the day to my grief.

Not all lost Chrome Prince, just a minor setback.

Hi Chrome, hope it's a big finish to the year for your selections.

Even though you haven't done quite as well as you were hoping, I admire your guts in putting your selections on here and showing your results and balance for all to see. Anyway, well done. I think I might do something similar in the new year with my system selections.

Cheers Sportznut, thanks for the support.
Have a great New Year.
