Right first time

Wow. So close, my Veandercross stablemates ! A fitting nail-biting finish to what has been such a highly entertaining and highly enjoyable comp these past many, many weeks. Pondy launched late . . . John, too. . . and almost brought us home ! Very well done Pete, Foxmerts, Idolmite and Stoyd - very worthy champions the team Bonecrusher. You were a benchmark team right through, and held your nerve when it mattered most when under heavy attack. I was thrilled to be in a team with John, Pondy and Kloppite. Great stablemates. We can be proud of finishing a close 2nd. Most of all, thanks John and Scooby for this marvellous competition. John, your skill at running these comps is simply breathtaking. Many, many thanks, my friend.

The one we're definitely NOT wanting in the money in the next, is Chain Of Lightning.

Phew !

They took Gold Bullion's win off me. Hoping they don't take Dual Pressure's win off me too !

Yes indeed. In Rugby Union they call it a 14-point try.

Drat ! Didn't even know there was an enquiry.

Let's hope we can finish this comp off in style, with a win ! Good luck to you too today, our very worthy opponents in team Bonecrusher. I hope you find a winner or two somewhere in the 12-race card. Many thanks again John and Scooby for this highly entertaining comp these past 14 weeks. It's been brilliant, in particular because it's been so well-run and played in such good spirit.

Thanks, Pete, for your best wishes for next Saturday. Only 20c short of making 2 Grand Finals on the one day ! A pretty good day all-in-all, my friend.

Hehe . . . you're getting very good at placing us firmly 'under the radar' , John. We Veandercross are certainly winning the race to underdog status ! Well done John on another big score from you today, as well as your incredible running of this comp. What you do is mind-boggling to most of us. Roll on the Grand Final !

They've got some very good tipsters in their line-up, so we're gonna have to be right on our game. Many thanks for this excellent competition, John & Scooby. It's a whole lot of fun each Saturday afternoon. Great entertainment.

Well done today, Phil. A great result for you, and very well deserved.

If the rain had stayed away 'Diss Is Dramatic' could have won by 4 lgths.

Diss Is Dramatic had had 2 runs on a Heavy track prior to today, for zip. This is what the jockey thought of the most recent of those 2 runs :- Go figure, huh !
