Yeah it really was close. So much so that I decided to look back to see what difference the promotion of Kintyre would have made in the end.
Idolmite finished up with $259 and I ended up with $226. Take away the $33 Idolmite got extra for that win and he ends up on... you guessed it.. $226.. So it could have ended up 2.5 points each so you cant get any closer than that.
And Stoyd got an extra $66 (a BB). Take that away and he ends up on $246 so only $4 more than SNM on $242.
But that's racing and congratulations again to Team Bonecrusher...

And you could take a $1.20 shot... It gets beat and you get 83.33 points, it wins and you lose 83.33 points... and take it as one of your JOKER pics if you dare.😀

Gutted... initially thought mine had got up and that would have given us the win, but the photo finish told a different story... well done Bonecrusher, consistent throughout the comp

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. 👏👏

I thought you'd got up too. What a finish, to both the race and the comp. A nose in it at the end.

I'm up against you Idolmite and when I saw you had posted something on the thread I was expecting to see your picks...but you were just tricking me.😁

Its being reported now one of the victims was John Singletons daughter just 25 years old with her whole life ahead of her...such a senseless crime and a beautiful life senselessly cut short... A great racing man and thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad sad time. RIP Dawn.

Official GPS data from Racing NSW showed Pride Of Jenni was 91m in front of Mr Brightside with 700m to go, which is the equivalent of 38 lengths.

This horse is nuclear horse, no?

Tough again today so no single bets for me.. 
Had a look back to see how Veandercross went against McGinty in the round-robin. we were pretty well trailing them the whole way 3-2 and a couple of hundred $$ behind in the aggregrate, but then I got a BB quinella in the last race for over $1k collect and we won it 5-1.... would be nice to do that again today but not too hopeful, but in saying that I have saved a BB for the last race at Morphettville and have included one of the same horses from that big collect.
Up against Pogo today so he's likely to pull out a big roughie somewhere...again.
Good luck to everyone still alive in the comp and thanks John and Leigh...
